its because many blacks where quite literally selected and bred for physical work, so any have a higher muscle density as a result. you might not like it but its blatantly obvious. notice that the successfull black sprinters are all from US/UK/Caribbean, not native africans. (im sure theres exceptions, but you see the trend.)

The vicissitudes of fate experienced by the Jewish People in the modern era have inevitably led to too little attention being paid to many vital aspects of Jewish life. One such aspect is sports. Involvement in sports is universal throughout today's world. It serves as a bridge between nations and peoples, between nations and Israel, and between Israel and the Diaspora, as expressed by the Maccabiah Games. Physical culture and involvement in sports are among the processes that the Jewish People have undergone in the modern era.
The end of the eighteenth century is seen as the dawning of the era of modern sport. Jews were already involved in athletic activities by that time. Among the early top boxers who made their appearance in the English sports arena were Jews such as Samuel Elias, Barney Aaron, the Belasco brothers, and Isaac Bitton.
The best known among them was Daniel Mendoza, of Portuguese origin, who held the English boxing crown during the years 1792 to 1795. The box*ing matches of "Mendoza the Jew" - as he proudly called himself - received wide acclaim. Numerous editorial cartoons and stories about Mendoza circulated in the press during that time, and popular ditties were composed in his honor. Mendoza, who was a source of pride to his people, became the favorite of the English masses. The Prince of Wales was one of his fans.
Mendoza is considered the father of "scientific boxing." He transformed the sport from one of pure violence and brawn into an art and a "battle of wits."
In the second half of the nineteenth century, Jews such as Lipman Pike, Lon Myers, and Louis Rubinstein were prominent figures among the elite in the world of sport. In 1866, Pike became America's first professional baseball player. Myers was the fastest runner in the world during the 1880s. And, Canadian Rubinstein captured the first World title in figure skating in 1890.
In the first half of the twentieth century, many Jewish athletes turned to sports that demanded outstanding strength. Some explained this as an attempt to crush the image of the Jew as a weakling. Professional boxing also brought young Jewish athletes high income and prestige, especially in the years preceding World War II.
The list of World boxing champions in different weight classes includes 29 Jewish boxers'23 from the United States, and 3 each from France (North Africa) and Great Britain. The most outstanding among them are America's Benny Leonard and Barney Ross. Leonard held the World Lightweight title from 1917 to 1925, retiring undefeated. His countryman, Barney Ross, held at least one or the other of three World boxing titles between 1933 and 1938, and was both World Lightweight and Welterweight Champion in 1934 and 1935 (the first boxer to ever hold two World titles simultaneously). In the amateur ranks, Jewish boxers and wrestlers representing eight countries have won 19 Olympic medals. And many of those same athletes, as well as others, have captured numerous world titles.
Another sport in which Jews have excelled is fencing. Among the winners of Olympic medals and world titles in this sport are Jews from Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, Denmark, Hungary, France, and the United States. Fencing was considered a "Jewish sport"in the Soviet Union as well. Olympic gold medalists such as Mark Midler, Mark Rakita, and Grigory Kriss have brought considerable honor to that nation.
Jewish athletes have also enjoyed notable achievements in table tennis. The most famous Jewish table tennis player is Hungary's Viktor Barna, winner of 23 World titles during the 1920s and 1930s. Second to Barna is Richard Bergmann, of Austria and Great Britain, winner of seven World titles between 1936 and 1953. The Hungarian table tennis team, which held the World championship eight times between 1927 and 1935, was composed almost entirely of Jewish players'as was the Austrian team that took the title from Hungary in 1936. In the years following World War II, Romania's Angelica Roseanu was the most prominent Jewish figure in table tennis. Beginning in 1950, she won 17 World titles.
In track and field (athletics)- "the queen of sports" - Jews also figure prominently. The list of Olympic cham*pions includes athletes such as Myer Prinstein (United States) in 1900 and 1904, Harold Abrahams (Great Britain) 1924, Elias Katz (Finland) 1924, Gerald Ash-worth (United States) 1964, Fanny Rosenfeld (Canada) 1928, Lillian Copeland (United States) 1932, Irena Kirszenstein (Poland) 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, and Faina Melnik (Soviet Union) 1972. In fact, there is almost no Olympic sport that does not list among its champions outstanding Jewish athletes.
Among the ranks of outstanding Jewish basketball players and coaches in the United States are Nat Holman, "Red" Auerbach, Harry Litwack, "Red" Holzman, Dolph Schayes, and Max Zaslofsky. Major League Baseball lore includes the names Hank Greenberg, Sandy Koufax, and Al Rosen. And, prominent among American football players, amateur and/or professional, are such Jewish stars as Sid Luckman, Benny Friedman, Marshall Goldberg, and Ron Mix, as well as coaches Sid Gillman, Marv Levy, and Al Davis.
The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Three hundred eleven athletes representing 13 countries, participated in 42 events (within nine different sports) at these Games, and there was a respectable representation of Jews among them. Five Jews won 10 medals (8 gold): German gymnast Alfred Flatow won 3 gold medals and 1 silver; gymnast Gustav Felix Flatow (Alfred's cousin) won 2 gold medals; Hungarian swimmer Alfred Hajos-Guttmann won 2 gold medals; Austrian swimmer Paul Neumann won 1 gold medal; and Otto Herschmann, another Austrian swimmer, won a bronze medal.
In 1912, Herschmann won a second Olympic medal, a silver, in fencing. He thereby became the first athlete to receive Olympic medals in two different sports. In 1924, 28 years after winning his gold medals in swimming, Hajos-Guttmann received his third Olympic medal, a silver, for designing sports facilities. (Silver was the highest honor presented in the design competition.)
Space does not permit enumeration of all the Jewish athletes who won medals in the 26 Summer and 19 Winter Olympic Games. Suffice it to say that Jews have been the recipients of more than 325 medals and more than 135 of them gold. The athlete who captured the greatest number of medals in one Olympiad is U. S. swimmer Mark Spitz. Spitz won seven gold medals at the Munich Games in 1972, setting new world records in each of his events, including three relay races. Four years earlier, at the Olympics in Mexico City, Spitz won "only" two gold medals, one silver medal, and one bronze. Among all Olympians of the modern Games, Spitz is tied for second as the recipient of most gold medals and is seventh for most medals overall.
The most successful Jewish woman athlete to participate in the Olympics is Hungarian gymnast Agnes Keleti, a winner of 10 Olympic medals-5 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze-in the Games of 1948, 1952, and 1956. Keleti's 11 Olympic medals rank her second (tied) among all women athletes in overall medals won, and fifth in gold medals won.

GENERALLY speaking... Black West Africans
and Carribeans have a greater percentage of FAST TWITCH MUSCLE FIBRES.
All our major muscles are made up of a combination of fast and slow twitch fibres. Fast twitch fibres work anaerobically i.e. without oxygen so they basically work fast and strong but tire quickly - perfect for up to 30-45 seconds of high intensity sprinting.

They completely dominate the world of Takeshis Castle. No one else gets a look in.
If sports had a more sado masochistic element the Japanese would really come into their own. If you had to hammer a nail through your bell end every time you scored a goal, or eat razors at half time, Japan would be absolute bankers for the next world cup.
