I always notice that the sprinters have such good physiques especially their glutes (butt muscle). Is this from their time in the gym or from sprint work on the track? Most lifters who don't run do NOT seem to have such nice shape on the glutes. This leads me to believe the track work has something to do with it.
Do sprinters have such nice glutes from PRIMARILY: gym work, sprint work, genetics?

gym work, but genetics play a good part as well.
some runners have no ass, where others are all ass.
tebogo is basically assless, while asafa powell had huge brappers.

Keely Hodgkinson - can’t recall ever seeing one like hers on a middle distance runner. It’s quite spectacular
To the OP’s question - genetics is probably the biggest factor

Is there some kind of inner beauty to her butt? I don’t get the fascination. It looks just like so many other elite runners’ or fit women: butt-shaped and somewhat firm.

Maybe this will help you understand the fascination

Looks a bit tumerous. The other girl’s looks more natural and nicer to me.

Not saying you are wrong, but selection bias could mean that you simply "must" have good genes for developing glute muscles to become at the top level of sprint. They might have equally developed glutes if they were not running only training weights. (But I think there is something with typical sprint training for glutes - plyometrics etc).

Hey, everyone has their own tastes and preferences and I respect that. If everyone looked the same or their attributes looked the same, things would be boring.
Also, didn’t you mean to say tumorous and not tumerous? I don’t even know what tumerous means.

Means both tuberous and tumorous.

You're getting away from the OP's topic but, yeah, that is pretty amazing 🙂

Sprinting is a very glutes heavy activity, there was an interesting study done. Compared to average sprinters, sub-elite sprinters have stronger muscles in the whole lower body. However the only difference between sub-elite and elite sprinters was glute strength.
Keep in mind glute strength doesn't mean size but there is correlation
