It only concerns one aspect of sprinting & genes. 
 
“Olympic sprinters, essentially, are those unlikely individuals at the vanishing edge of the probability distribution for whom nearly every genetic coin has come up heads.” 
 
Something tells me that persons of W. African ancestry are more likely to have every genetic coin come up heads.
