The argument was that Lagat no longer has the speed to close in the 5k.
He may have the speed to close in the 10k.
I know you're reading impaired, so I'll just quote it for you and hope the repetition finally penetrates.
"We have all noticed that his competitiveness in the 5K is slowly diminishing. He doesn't seem to have the speed at the end to compete with top runners Farah, Rupp, etc."
????
If he doesn't have the speed in the 100m he definitely doesn't have the speed in the 400m.
This is basically what you just said.
Do you see why this is nonsense?
Again, your inability to comprehend what you're reading is coming into play.
I said: "Speed they (Rupp and Farah) bring to the 10k. If he (Lagat) doesn't have it in the 5k, he definitely doesn't have it in the 10k."
So if his speed is holding him back against the likes of Rupp and Farah, then it doesn't matter if it's a 5k or a marathon, he won't be able to beat them.
Now that I've gone and explained this to you in as elementary a way as possible, I hope you will finally concede that you (per your usual) don't know what you're talking about.
