800: 8 sub 2s in the last couple years, so I think they're further along than guys in that.
1500/mile: mens milers are looking good, but with Rowbury's medal, it's hard to argue with that success.
5000: Teg was 4th in 2007, Lagat is a world champ, it appears the men have one this one and rightfully so with the full out attack on sub 13 the last two years
10000: Solinsky's 26:59 puts him high on the world list, however, Flanagan's bronze in 2008 and Goucher's bronze in 2007 have to be better than this from a racing standpoint. I think when Solinsky races a championship 10k we might see a medal.
Marathon: I'd say they're about the same, except for Meb's NYC win. Point goes to men.
women 3
men 2
So all of a sudden Afican-born runners count?
These "african born" are actually Americans, so yes these people count...
In absolute terms, American men > American Women
Relative to the competition- American Women > American Men

Women are definitely over all better. More recent Olympic/WC medals. They just seem more competitive from 800-marathon in big races against competition that matters. I'm not trying to trash the men's accomplishments, but women seem to be overall further along.

Elaborate? Anyone with half a brain can figure out what that means.

I don't think you know what elaborate means.
US men have won double the medals at recent WC/Oly/Majors.
