I'm sure genetics/altitude is indeed most of the equation. Just as genetics can also be applied to JJ Johnson who in same amount of time went from nothing to world leader in the 100. That's not saying that all Kenyans/Kalenjin have the genetics, but for somebody to go from nothing to great in no time has only one answer, in any event. (see Dr. Del Meriwether) gh
