Sorry, but the extraordinary race gap in Olympic 100 meter dash results (all finalists since 1984 have been black) correlates with lots of mundane realities like: Who bullies whom in playground, and who takes up street crime: those most likely to outrun their pursuers.
Sprinting ability, like distance running ability, is not some bizarre idiosyncrasy, it's a basic human trait that evolution selects for. But better running efficiency correlates with narrower hips, which correlate with lower birthweights and smaller skulls: profound tradeoffs.
E.g., at a Chicago shopping mall in 1982 I watched a black thief try to outrun two mestizo security guards in hot pursuit. Who had a better combo of running speed and endurance would determine how much reproductive activity the criminal would engage in over the next few years.
Also, watching the criminal outrun the security guards reminded me of value of decision-making and home field familiarity. The thief disappeared down an alley. If he'd mad a bad choice and turned down a dead end, he'd be going to jail.
This helps explain why crime is so high in neighborhoods where criminals feel at home and so low where they don't. To get away from the law, they need to know each alley like the back of their hands.

A lot of broken windows policing is just making lowlifes feel out of place.
