Only three Italian athletes are in the top 100 list, in which were considered only one performance per athlete:

In addition to that of Eskilstuna other race of great interest in the season was the first edition of the Youth Chinese Games in Fuzhou on October 24, 2015 with as many as 37 Chinese athletes with performances under 51:30.00 and obviously included in the first 100 athletes of the world list. Unfortunately we haven’t updated all the names, but we will do it as soon as possible.
It's very interesting to note that in the list of the top 100 athletes are represented 23 Countries (in 2014 are represented 24 Countries), and in this case the list is leaded by Cina with 37 athletes, followed by Russia (16) and Japan (9).
