'Rob and I both joined the country to withdraw from college and we followed this very closely. So we anticipate the biographies of the sprinter champions will show that most of them are the fastest kids in the neighborhood before they were seriously trained. But the consistency of that surprised us - from Helen Stephens, champion of the 1936 Olympics to Usain Bolt, all proved their talents before participating in professional competitions, " said Dr Lombardo. share.

This study produced results that were in contrast to what David Shenk, a genetic author author wrote in the book " The Genius in All of Us" .
