hi all, I'm writing from Italy. Hope not to be politically incorrect, you know, sometimes one uses wrong expressions which may be offensive without knowing it - English is not my language.

My question: has someone understood why there are no black swimmers at the top of the world rankings? is there a physiologic reason? Thank you Antonio

Interesting that hair is given as a reason many black women don't swim. A fairly recent article in Runners World addressed the issue of why running is predominantly a "white sport" in N. America; one of their conclusions had to do with hair care, too.
I find it unsettling that our society puts appearance above fitness. Is hair really so important that it should stop a person from working out?
