Is Usain Bolt a genetic one-off? Could we all beat Bradley Wiggins if we trained hard enough? To what extent is our ability on the sports field dictated by our genes? In this controversial and engaging exploration of athletic success, Sports Illustrated writer David Epstein tackles the great nature vs. nurture debate and traces how far science has come in solving this great riddle.
