Agreed. Probably no sportsperson would be hobbled by access to specialised facilities and coaching, but experience shows that resource assymetry is more impactful in some sports.
Boxing, diving, weightlifting are a few of the less usual sports (i.e., not football or basketball) where kids from low-income families training without cutting-edge equipment commonly excel.
In contrast, for a kid to stand a chance at being competitive in the modern pentathlon, they need hundreds or thousands of hours access to fencing kit, a horse, a gun and ammo and range, a swimmable body of water, and space to run, as well as freedom away from chores or work. That’s the realm of fantasy for the vast majority of people, let alone children.
