a strange hill to die on, this guy may or may not exhibit exceptional genetics in elite endurance sport. but its damn handy to be genetically gifted and the majority of athletes at the pinnacle of these are sports are. You cant blame scouts for seeking that. No one is telling 10 year olds to sell their bikes because they dont have enough alveoli or whatever.
It's the hill I want to die on because to me it seems like we are shaming anyone that is talented, instead of looking at how they got there.
Whopper-
This is not true! Our collective posts should assuage your fears. No one here is dunking on youngsters for not being good enough. And at an elite level they work hand in hand, they have both the genes and the work ethic to win.

Genetics is how they got there, without exception. No one just "worked harder" when they were a kid and magically got a ride on the World Tour without already having the necessary genetics.
