poor runners from North Africa "train all year round" and are the best because there is no winter. They have little support and do not travel much to train, at least at the initial levels.
Poor runners from South Africa or the bottom of South America do too? No, it's winter. Icky's point is that well off kids in well off countries adjust, but that just proves my point. It's easier to be in the North Hemisphere for Olympics athletes.
