Its tough because running isn't really a skill based sport, it is mostly genetic. Hurdling does require skill, but it also requires mostly a good genetic build. So it is tough to be a considered a "world class athlete" when a lot of the sport is determined at birth.

It's not like Julio Jones was born with an absurd wingspan, gigantic fingers, and springy tendons... he worked at achieve those (sarcasm).
ALL 'world class athletes' had that potential at birth. It's ALL genetic.
