Ok my question basically is, are the Eastern Europeans naturally superior athletes to everyone else, thanks to genes? And of course our western media will never mention such a thing simple because they are white?</span><div>
</span></div><div>Eastern Europeans could not compete in any professional sport and we could use professional boxing as example, where from 1885 to 1995, for 110 years, their governments and politics did not allow them to become professional boxers and fight for personal benefit.
USSR which was the capital of communism, as most eastern European nations (with very few exceptions) could not participate at the Olympics either, until the Olympics of 1952, when Soviet Union participated for the first time at the Olympic Games. They decided to participate only because they wanted to demonstrate their power in the athletic level as well (since the cold war was a competition about everything) and they literally and i am being historically accurate with this claim, SMASHED teams of USA, Western Germany, Italy, France, Australia, and all the other nations of the western world. USSR participated in total 19 Olympics, 10 summer and 9 winter, and dominated the medal rankings 16 of the 19 times. Also countries as East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary were also in the top 10 of the medal rankings regularly.
Now when it comes only to boxing, there's no doubt that the countries of Eastern Europe, as a region, are the most powerful and dominant in the history of amateur boxing. They participate at the Olympics as i already said from 1952 and later, yet they have won 491 of the 842 medals given in the history of Olympic boxing and if someone includes the world amateur championships, they have literally won over 75% of the medals in the world games, in which they participated from the very beginning in the early-mid 70's. This tell us what? That they would have won probably, about the same amount of medals at the Olympics too, if they could participate like USA for example, from the very first Olympics in Athens of 1896.
Also from 1994 and later, that most eastern European countries started to allow professional boxing, there have been 98 world champions from eastern Europe inside only 17 years, i think that's a record for any region of the planet in history.
</span>Would the history of professional boxing be 100% different if they could participate earlier? THAT'S A GIVEN, NOT EVEN SOMETHING TO DOUBT ABOUT.
Truth that facts prove again and again, is that eastern Europeans are the most diverse athletes on the planet, since they participate and win medals in EVERY SPORT THERE IS. Based on facts they seem to be the most strong people on the planet with Scandinavians, they are the biggest people on earth according to various scientific researches, they are very tough, very fast in various events such as running, swimming, ice skating, cycling, rowing, triathlon, decathlon (now that's diversity) and their school of amateur boxing is regarded as the greatest of all time.
If you add in the mix their incredible success in every combat and power sport there is as wrestling which they dominate regularly at Olympics, Kickboxing, Sambo, Judo, MMA, weightlifting, strongest man competitions, discus, javelin etc you have the perfect fighting machines, which is the reason why their special forces and military is considered the most hardcore and tough in the world.
Laszlo Papp is widely accepted worldwide as the greatest amateur boxer who ever lived.
Vasyl Lomachenko is the greatest amateur boxer in the world right now and breaks one record after another in the amateur world, the boy is PHENOMENAL. Imagine someone like him, few years ago would not have a chance to prove his talents and skills in the professional stage, as also the Klitschkos, Pirog, Golovkin, Povetkin, Bute, Adamek and all the rest Eastern Europeans of today who dominate the sport in their divisions.
What do you guys think? Could you imagine a region of the planet with the athletic achievements of Eastern Europe being black? Our media would celebrate them like Gods on earth right?</span></div><div>
