Abstract

Using methods such as literature review, statistical analysis, and logical reasoning, this study analyzes the influence of race on athletic performance based on data from three major competitions. It concludes that there are disparities among different races in terms of biological genetics and social backgrounds, as well as variations in the technical characteristics of different sports. The findings indicate that Black athletes have a significant advantage in track and field events, White athletes excel in swimming and strength-based sports, while Asian athletes perform well in skill-based events.
