Once again, Im not fussed about your opinion.
The fact you cant see how you're behaving or how you look speaks volumes.
You've lost control.

Yeah, I am aware that the Kenyan long distance runners have an advantage due to genes that are particularly well adapted to high altitude, which gives them an advantage at lower altitude in terms of oxygen take up in the blood!
So shut your yap, you dozy cunt.
You are a hateful, spitting child with no self control, lashing out at people around you. You should like yourself more.

See I reckon you would actually be alright if you weren't so precious, you do have some good stuff to say now and again. You just have a habit of making yourself look like an idiot (yeah irony intended).

Long distance runners have a greater amount of slow twitch muscle fibres, sprinters more fast twitch. Now whether that is genetic and therefore giving someone a predisposition to be good at one or the other or whether this is due to adaptation of the slow/fast twitch fibres (the 3rd type that are neither) that become differentiated after training.
I find it really interesting - time to brush up on the muscle physiology methinks
Ermmmmmmmmmmm......
I'll be sure to inform you the next time.

and here's me and exosculate trying to have a sensible discussion amid the mayhem.

I wonder how much, climate, environment, nurture etc... can influence though.

Hemo rising!
Yeah, that's right. And in your head the guy who mentioned jungle was insinuating what exactly?
She is a fucking monkey. I play the same tune and she dances. A fucking monkey.
oi you- think better of me indeed im a wrongun like you you muppet, but i dont like your vibe with rutita - never have and you do get a kick out of donning the same double entendres time after time.......
Level??????- check yours you idiot

Yeah, of course its going to have some impact, but as far as I'm concerned the main elements for someone to be an elite athlete are genetics, training and grim determination (not necessarily in that order)

Well yes, that's what i've always thought. I can see that certain body shapes/types have an advantage, not least because they are easier to train and get results....for me that's where the genetics angle comes in.
I know some folk with extremely athletic builds but are the laziest and least physical folk. Maybe it's a question of potential.

It is interesting. It's also something which probably does have a genetic factor, even if it is enhanced by training - after all, it's unlikely they would have gone through that much training if they didn't have an aptitude for the sport.
And genetic traits can cluster in certain areas. That doesn't mean that black people tend to be better at athletics no matter where they're from, just that, if your ancestors are from an area that has that gene cluster (for environmental reasons that led to that trait giving evolutionary advantage), you're more likely to be better at that particular type of athletics.
It shouldn't be controversial, really. It's almost the same as saying that, if your ancestors are from Scandinavia, you're more likely to have blue eyes.
