It's an interesting split you've chosen. I wish I had thought of it. While North Africans are competitive with East Africans in shorter distances like the 1500m, and 3000m, they start to "fall behind" in the longer 5000m, 10000m, and marathon. Yet in all events, their best still outperformed non-Africans.
What's so unusual about that? The New England Patriots outperform everyone else in their division year in & year out - it happens a lot in sports.
