If the theory is true, why haven't athletes with solely West African backgrounds dominated?

There may be something to all this genetic talk though. With some exceptions, Ethiopians win every marathon and Northern Europeans win every heavy weight-lifting competition.
Athletes with solely West African backgrounds don't have the finances or resources to dominate the sports because they are mainly in Africa. Those are poor 3rd world nations there mainly. But there is another theory that if those same West Africans were given the same kind of training and resources in the west, they too would dominate athletics. But that's just a theory as of right now.
