Fastest German time in nearly 10 years and only a tenth of a second from the German record. Wow
How did he get so much better? Medal threat this year?

Farken has been around for a while.

He was in the semifinal in the 1500m in Tokyo 2021 and in the semifinal in the indoor WC in Beograd last year.

He doesn´t seem to survive rounds well. Which is understandable since he obviously is speed based miler.

re: OriginalLurker

like to help out: Mills and Farken are actually in the same team, on.running europe, with former national coach Thomas Dreissigacker in charge. both times come from the same race in lovely Rehlingen.

their are pushing themselves a lot. Roberts PB was from german champs, a real championship runner with a big heart for speed and Robert with the experience of Tokyo SF and Beograd F plus no more injurys is a thread....well sort of ;)

He only switched to the 1500 seriously in 2021. So this is his third year focusing on it, and last year he had injury issues making it a lost outdoor season. Making the Semis in your first year of focus is pretty dang good. I don't really buy the "survive rounds" thing for 800/1500 types. Maybe that factors into the final, but strength-based guys (Hoare, Tefera) aren't immune from early exits either.

That is an awesome performance. Rehlingen is such a cool small track meet, I ran there a few times back in the days - great to see that it still attracts basically the entire town to the meeting!
