Michael Johnson winning the 200 meters at the 1996 Olympics |
According to Johnson a "superior athletic gene" in the descendants of West African slaves means black American and Caribbean sprinters will command the sport at the London Games.
Well Michael we don’t discuss it here because it’s not news. African-American sprinters have been winning the sprints since the 1930’s and I can recall Jesse Owens was a hero to “All” Americans by winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I suggest you do some research as to why.
When I
watch the great sprinters running I could care less about the color of their
skin. Maybe that makes me odd or
different. I just see a great athlete at
peak performance.
This
might be news across the pond but over here
it’s a wonderful
fact of life.
