“They likely have a lucky combination of genes supplemented by their intense training. ” (emphasis mine).

So your synapsis of the article by saying “spoiler alert: lucky genes”" is a gross oversimplification of the reasons they are successful at that age and implies they are only there because of their genes.

And your synopsis is a gross over simplification that implies they are only there because they train hard.

I disagree with you, but don’t want to argue on a post where someone wanted to discuss the article. I do think that if you started a new thread about genetics we might get some knowledgeable people to chime in and educate us though.

When I was in the Marine Corps, we had an E7 who would finish the PFT run, and then run back out to round up the people behind him (almost everyone was behind him). He would run backwards in front of you, light a cigarette, and talk trash. .
