The question I want to answer this time is if black athletes are the best in all sports.

The black race has earned its place in sports worldwide, first because of its physique, then
because of its tenacity and little by little they gained respect for their abilities, something for
which they have had to fight throughout history. Physiologically they are especially endowed
with characteristics that give them the advantage according to the sport in which they
perform.

Their muscular capacity, resistance and physiognomy allow them to be superior in certain
sports. In the NBA they are the majority with 77% of basketball players, despite the fact that
the brown population is less than 20 percent in the USA. Michel Jordan and Koby Bryant
confirm this by being the best players in basketball history.

In athletics we have the great example of Usain Bolt, who is the runner with the most
olympic gold medals in history. Always taking a great advantage over the other competitors
And the few times that he did not participate in a competition, the winner has been a black
racer.

According to scientific studies, Black athletes "tend to have longer limbs with smaller
circumferences, which means that their centers of gravity are higher compared to whites of
the same height."

On the other hand, we have some sports where this does not happen. A great example is
the swimming championships. According to studies, the low center of gravity that white
people have helps them to be faster in the water. The greatest example is Michael Phelps
who has won everything.

Another sport that I would include is soccer, because within the top 3 of the best soccer
players, the only black one is pele. Also, a curiosity is that the last world champion,
Argentina, didn’t have any player of color within the list of 23.

In conclusion, black people are very good athletes in almost all sports, but there are certain
sports in which their physical structure, abilities or poor decisions in the game don’t make
them stand out.
