GV, Some Olympic sports are almost entirely dominated by blacks, despite the wide scale of participation by whites. Sprinting and middle distance racing are the most notable examples. OTOH, swimming is almost completely dominated by whites. I guess that swimming with crocodiles isn't such a good idea. Scumbria

GVTucker, re:" Using your logic, the countries in Africa, which has a much larger Negro population than the US, would dominate the Olympics. Yet they don't. Well I suspect that you know that blacks in africa don't have the opportunities to do sports due to national wealth. BTW the south african rugby team is pretty darned good!!! I agree absolutely there are cultural differences. However when a minority population dominates so clearly i dont think you can say it is cultural. And when i talk of athletic gold medals i am talking about running, jumping etc. regards, Kash

OT ".. there wasn't even a running race over 800 meters for women in the Olympics. Back then, people thought the excess distance would strain their fragile physiques. The only logic, though, is that women were not running in races that long when in reality they weren't given the opportunity. Now we know that as absurd." No we don't. I think people thought right. You must have a very special taste for women. I would not endorse the thing that runs for 1500m++ as a woman. Just take a look at them, and you will see the image of true absurd. On another note, if everything is so equal, why don't you request to eliminate separate men and women groups in sport? Let them compete on the basis of equal opportunity. Huh?

"Using your logic, the countries in Africa, which has a much larger Negro population than the US, would dominate the Olympics. Yet they don't." No financial and thus no chemical backing. "The country of Russia, which has almost zero black people, would never win a medal. Yet they dominate more sports than the United States." Lots of gov't support and good anabolics.
