Blacks won most of the medals and that's a fact. Cuba has been impresive in filed events over the years. You are right about swimming, skiing, etc--but only because blacks don't train in those areas. If they did they would dominate. You mention lomg distance running. Blacks from Kenya are the masters of these distances with Ethiopia coming in second. The competition from the rest of the world is minimal. [/qb][/QUOTE]^Blacks train in swimming and still don't dominate. The long distance runners have stiff competition from Asian and Eastern European countries. I can see a white person beating a black in sprint but don't see a black person beating a white in swimming. [/qb][/QUOTE]Swimming doesn't attract lot of blacks, as in sport. Anyway, do you know who this is?

Obviously, she is a white boy or a Somali who hasn't even heard of the winners of the long distance marathons. [/qb][/QUOTE]Could be, even in tennis blacks aren't overall represented. Yet, manage to do very well. Serena Williams Born: 26-Sep-1981 Birthplace: Saginaw, MI Nationality: United States Executive summary: Winner of 20 Grand Slam titles Serena Williams is a world-ranked professional tennis player, one of very few African-Americans to dominate that sport. Her sister Venus Williams is also a top-ranked player. Serena is three inches shorter, 25 pounds lighter, and a year younger than Venus. Their father, Richard Williams, has coached and, some say, harangued the girls since childhood -- or even earlier. He says he was watching tennis on TV in 1978, and when he saw how much prize money could be won, he decided on the spot that tennis winnings could be his family's path to success. He started talking his wife -- already the mother of three girls from a previous marriage -- into having more children. Serena turned professional in 1995, at age 14. By 1997, she was ranked #304 in the world when she defeated two Top 10 players and jumped to #102. She cracked the top 100 in 1998, after defeating #2 Lindsay Davenport in Sydney, and won her first career title at the Open Gaz de France in 1999. A 2003 victory over her sister Venus gave Serena her fourth Grand Slam title in five attempts, but then she injured her knee in the finals at Wimbledon, and was sidelined for eight months.
