What do the Brownlee's have?

I call that just reward for being the best in the world for 10years at short course racing, fair play to them.
 
Excellent cardiovascular and respiratory systems along with thousands of hours training slow-twitch muscle fibers. Rather jealous considering my heart goes into AFIB if I do anything super strenous.

Genetics is almost everything in sport and business, hard work only gets you so far. On the other hand, millions of people have lived their lives never tapping into the great genetics they were born with.
 
That is a urban myth, Hard work beats Genetics hands down every single time. Gomaz a arch-rival of the Brownlees is pretty much the opposite of them yet was always fighting and getting 1st places against the brownlees.

Hard-work, Training support and mental toughness all controllable and trainable have more importance than genetics.
 
It's a stretch to say Gomaz is the opposite of them, very few athletes operating at the top of their field have average genetics. Hard work obviously wins when people are starting with around the same level of potential. It certainly doesn't win every single time as you only have to look at the more obvious sports for that, basketball, etc.
