taking the rather good example of Olympic shelf reaching, this is clearly
going to be dominated by height.  Many studies have shown that a persons
height is determined both by genetics and my nutrition.  A persons genes
determine a range of possible heights while nutrition determines where in
this range they will fall (or stand).

So should ther person who has a genetic defect making him unable to produce
growth homone go in for the sport of shelf lifting, spending all his time
on a rack and lifting heavy bags of flour from high cupboards or should he
go in for limbo dancing.  Preperations for the two could certainly be
mutually exclusive
