or maybe its because where they are from, the sand is so damn hot. I mean, if you go out in the summer here, on a 90 degree day to play some volleyball, that sand can be DAMN HOT on the feet. Well, imagine it being like 120 degrees? You would never stop moving... just "ah, that's hot!" "ooh, my feet burn", etc... thats how they got so quick... im convinced of it.

A fellow published a book a year or so ago (a scientist) that studied differing physical attributes of races and variations within same. Obviously, idiots rose up and called him a racist.  One thing he discussed was the difference between east and west African athletes. The Kenyans, Ethopians, excel at long-distance running but are utter failures at sprints. West African are the opposite.

I wonder what Jimmy the Greek would have to say about that.
