There are lots of black Americans winning sprint events in the olympics because when they were 14, their coaches decided black athletes were better at sprinting and trained them for it. Meanwhile, most of their genetic heritage came from Africa, where we now see the best long distance runners in the world...

Hate to break it to you, but your opinion is mistaken. A track coach wants to win. Some folks are blessed with a preponderance of fast twitch muscles, some have more slow twitch muscles, and are better suited to different tasks. I have no doubt a 200 kilo sumo wrestler would do well in the strong man competition though.
