Why don't africans/african americans dominate gymnastics?

[emoney]

if Americans cared about gymnastics then they would dominate it

if we put balance beams in inner city neighbourhoods of America then they'd have world class gymnatists

can you imagine IF LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul trained in gymnastics from a young age.....there's no doubt

The skelic index of Asians and Europeans is typically higher than in Africans. (The length of torso in relation to the length of limbs). Or in other words cacs and asians got relatively shorter legs and shorter arms even if they the same height as a Black man. Having a high skelic index helps in certain sports and and having a low skelic index helps in other sports. It's all about leverage. Gymnists benefit from shorter limbs. Runners benefit from longer ones. A white dude or asian can still have long limbs like a black man and a black man can still have short limbs like a white dude or asian but the frequency is just higher that it will be the other way around, thus you see more Blackletes dominating events where longer limbs benefit and you see more Asians and White people competing in events where longer torso benefits more.

This is interesting stuff, any proof to back this up? Not that i don't trust you or anything.

But this leads to a question, how come white players, for the most part, dominate soccer? Wouldn't black people be more suited?

For example, imagine Dwight Howard as a soccer scorer, his long legs would be an advantage i'm guessing.

Breh, we are dominating Gymnastics. The girls are the CURENT champions, and I think the men are like 3rd or 2nd in the WORLD.

Was it the black guys fault?

Yeah, arms were too long.

 

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

Yeah, arms were too long.

This can't be life. I hate seeing black athletes fail. It's like seeing yourself fail.

Don't believe him, that's not the reason he failed.

We see no end-game to gymnastics. The irony is that this is the one damn sport where you ARE awarded style points!! Insane.

As kids we would cut flips all over the muhfukkin place, but moms wasn't having it so that got cut short real quick.

Black folks are naturally gifted in this area, so as a kid it's not looked at as a talent rather a nuisance (mom: "flip them damn textbooks!"), whereas a lot of white people I know go ape shyt when their kid first learns to tumble like it's a sign from God. Asian people on the other hand always excel at anything they can treat as a discipline rather than a sport, that's a great quality, hampers your creativity, but great quality nonetheless.
