I don't agree with this. Most of the people who are at the top of a sport are there because they are genetic, naturally gifted freaks. The people who can just pick up the sport and, from the start, are beating people with a lot more experience. If we could all be at the top with just practice, well, then we wouldn't be at the top, by definition.

We could all likely be close to Block with practice, but we would still be nowhere near Sebastian Loeb. Sure, he practices a lot, but he's also a genetic freak.
