Fibers Black
 |
Why are the most successful olympic sprinters almost always black?
Like for example, athletes that are competing in a 100 meters or 200 meters final.
I'm just curious why- are they psychically Superior than compared to white or asian athletes? Do they have more muscle fibers in their legs? Can anyone tell me the science behind it?
People have asked this question for decades. Political correctness aside...blacks are faster runners than whites. Similarly whites are far better swimmers than blacks. That being said, are there exceptional world class white sprinters...yes, of course. We saw tons of them at the Olympics, but in most cases they finished just behind the black sprinters. Similarly, there are exceptional black competitive swimmers, however, they are a signifcant minority in the sport. Whites are actually closer to blacks in sprinting though than blacks are to whites in swimming. For example, the American women's all black 4x4 relay team, just barely edged out the all white Russian women's team. And an Australian woman (white) took the silver in the 100m hurdles. Additionally, there were lots of whites as well as some Asians who advanced to semi-final and final rounds of the sprints. In swimming though, there were hardly any black people seen competing at all. With the exception of Cullen Jones of the U.S., virtually every swimmer at the games seemed to be white or Asian.
