I'm not so sure that is the biggest factor though. In this country, there comes along maybe only one new sub 2:10 marathoner every couple of years, whereas in Kenya there are probably several dozen new sub 2:10 guys every year. I know that in my growing up experience, there would not have been that many more kids excelling in distance running if everybody went into running instead of the other sports. Most of those other kids were clearly not showing any talent for distance running before they dedicated to other sports.
