Why are white women more sucessful at sprints than white men?

Umm.. how about Andre De Grasse?

Pssshhh.

Everyone knows black guys have an extra muscle in each leg that easily propels them past whitey.

Somewhere in a small, grungy apartment, OP is sitting alone, cackling to himself for starting this thinly veiled race bait thread, that has somehow survived for this long without being deleted.

Practically all the top times by white males are from present USA. Fisher, Klecker, Kincaid.

Did you even read the thread title? None of those men are sprinters.

Bobby MorrowOlympic gold, WR's

Dave Sime Olympic silver WR's

Lindy Remigino Olympic gold

Hal Davis top sprinter in the world in both sprints from around 1940-1943, just no Olympcs to star in WR holder

Mel Patton frst 9.3 Olympic 200m gold

Charlie Paddock Olympic gold WR's

What white females rival that?

If their discipline is more dependent on cardiovascular fitness (which takes several years of consistent training to develop) then why would starting at a later age be a bigger advantage for them than sprinters, who can rely more on their natural talent, assuming they both pick it up in their early 20s or late teens?

You're right though, distance running isn't that hard at all. That's why we see sprinters move up and dominate the longer events easily all the time. Just like Jeremy Wariner was able to jog a 49 two times in a row to break the 800 WR. Oh, wait...

Countries in which there are large numbers of "white" women tend to be more egalitarian.

I don't intend for that be a judgment at all, just an observation of how countries perform on the human development index in relation to women.

If cultural factors didn't deny women access to sport in lesser developed societies, you would have a much larger talent pool from which to draw. Women's depth in sprints, on the whole, would improve - without performances from "white" women necessarily doing so.

Football is the answer.

Yes, but white woman sprinters have dine far better than men.since then. It may be that white women today have more belief that they can compete, having more rolemodels, even if in the case of the Soviet Bloc athletes of the 80's they were clearly roided.

Omg, so dumb. Poor troll. You and everyone else knows it's interest. White men simply don't have the interest for sprinting. There's a reason why there were faster white men 50 yrs ago vs now. Used to be lots of white men in top ranks of 200, 400. Now mostly gone. Interest

i'm more curious about the chinese. the chinese has had 1 top level male hurdler and a questionably high number of distance female in the past, but they haven't been seen since. if i had to take a guess, their drugs worked in the past but the testing finally caught up with them so they had to move on

Please does not spread sexism, hate and misinformation. Please does not.

A 100m race is objective.

The Nobel prize is completely made up. It’s like if we just looked at the start line of the 100m final and said “I feel like the guy in lane 6 is the best.” And then gave it to him.

There is more sexism in the Black community in the US and in Black countries like Jamaica than in white communities and countries.

That's why white women are also arguably more competitive in long distance as compared to East Africans than men are.

Umm.. ever heard of Fanny Blankers Koen?

How about Irena Szewinska?

Betty Robinson -- Olympic Gold medalist.

Helen Stephens -- Olympic gold medalist, WR.

Marjorie Jackson -- Olympic gold medalist, WR.

Betty Cuthbert -- Olympic gold medalist, WR.

Shirley Strickland -- WR. (Olympic gold medalist in hurdle.)

Annegret Richter-- Olympic gold medalist, WR.

But, of course... Deno has no interest in women.

Must have missed me talking about Wilma Rudolph and the 16 year old Betty Robinson.

Add white sprinters...
