Let's not forget that a lot of the fastest runners are coming from Jamaica now. One of the things that I was informed of during the Olympics was that a lot of the children, of course, run around barefoot, which in turn strengthens the foot, and the legs at an early age.
That is VERY true! I grew up in St.Thomas which is the American version of Jamaica (so to speak) and did the same. I think there is more than just that helping these individuals out though. Food.... Competition.... types of sports played in these areas may have an impact too. For a runner needs more than strong feet to be the cream of the crop.
