""As a scientist, rather than a sociologist, I am prepared to risk political incorrectness by drawing attention to the seemingly obvious but under-stressed fact that black sprinters, and black athletes in general, all seem to have certain natural anatomical advantages," he said.

Bannister would concede that he was unable to identify what those precise advantages were.

But, he insisted,, external it was correct to note the apparent correlation between race and sprint medals, and seek to explain the underlying factors he believed were behind it."

I thought Jimmy the Greek already answered this question.

It’s tenths of seconds.

The Marxists are dividing the nation over things like tenths of seconds.

The one thing that I do not understand is if Pres Trump can treat all citizens with respect and dignity until he is given reason to change course. Why can’t we do the same thing?

Allan Wells may have been the beneficiary of Jimmy Carter's decision to boycott the 1980 Olympics...there were no black Americans competing.

If genetics is a factor, it may go back to natural selection operating in African environments centuries or thousands of years ago, long before the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

you mean people are different?...really?...I thought men, women, blacks/whites/asians/hispanic and homosexuals and trannies were all the same....

you mean a bio male with male dna IS different than a bio female with female dna?....

of course we're different...

I think they did push two physical slaves together to make more physical babies but slavery has been gone for centuries, and anything that happens in the last three generations happened in the black community on purpose....

my family...we had nothing to do with slavery...we've never been rich and almost all white Americans never participated in slavery....look to your historically rich elitist...

Probably has more to do with geography than race. Sprinters are of predominantly West African descent.

Top distance runners, on the other hand, are more likely to be East Africans who would have made terrible slaves. Some Kenyan or Ethiopian dude who is 6’3” tall and weighs 95 pounds isn’t good for much in an agrarian setting except perhaps as a live scarecrow.

The Ethiopians entrants weren’t slaves.

Kenyans dominate marathons because they were slaves I guess. These people are retarded.

Sub-Saharan Negroes are blessed with genetics which make them good runners.

Ashkenazim Jews from Eastern Europe are blessed with genetics which allows them to excel in Math and Science.

It's obvious, and anyone who doesn't recognize it is either blind or a liar.

[TalBlack]

Weren’t slaves the people who WEREN’T strong enough to beat back or out run the other blacks who sold them to the slavers?

Predominance of fast twitch vs slow twitch muscle fibers,size ratio of leg muscles to rest of body, training methods.

As another poster said, usually a fraction of a second divides first place from third.
