We merged two threads on the same topic and kept the one started by Rojo as Rojo's was started first and its his website. The 2nd thread was titled, "Random Swede runs 12:44 to smack the Africans and set new European record!?"

If the claim is being made that Almgren is only faster over certain distances than Ingebrigtsen because he has trained for those distances then the same thing can be claimed about Ingebrigtsen: he is faster than Almgren over other distances because he has trained for those distances. Indeed the excuse for Ingebrigtsen's poor showing over the HM is because he wasn't trained for the distance.
Specialisation is a poor argument for explaining why Almgren has superior times to Ingebrigtsen over certain distances; the argument cuts both ways.

I have followed the career of my countryman Almgren over a decade now. He has faster times than Jakob at 400m and 800m . Actually the right answer to why Jakob has faster times at 1500m - 3000m than Andreas so far is that Jakob has so far specialised at 1500m- 5000m and Andreas 5000m- half marathon.

I've forgotten what you are talking about. It no longer interests me.

You have just effectively endorsed what I was saying above. It will not however be a popular argument amongst the Ingebrigtsen fans.

Actually it's just that some of you are too boring to continue a discussion with. You can include yourself there.

I'm happy to remind you, you're claiming you can't compare Farahs times to current runners today, which is a stupid argument when guys in the 90s were running faster than what Farah did.

Why are you arguing about a sport you don't follow?

Don't say that bro, I guess the Ingebrigtsen fans will be delighted to see Jakob have great potential to reach his running lifegoals to hold the world records at 1500/ mile/ 3000m ( wr now) / 5000m/ 10000m / half and marathon before he quit running. Almgren really seem to have potential to thretten the world records at 5000m/ 10000m/ half and marathon. Thrilling future! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

I'm not arguing that; I am discussing Almgren. You are still boring.

Something like this never can be a fact.

But it's not new that you don't understand the meaning of words in many cases.

He said this.

"Actually the right answer to why Jakob has faster times at 1500m - 3000m than Andreas so far is that Jakob has so far specialised at 1500m- 5000m and Andreas 5000m- half marathon."

So he is saying they are better than the other at the distances mentioned because they both have specialised at those distances. That is what I identified as an argument that can apply to both runners - whether or not one might agree with it.
