Genetic inclination to and overall aptitude of particular ethnic groups in certain sports can be statistically proven.
When is the last time you've seen a white caucasian win in 100, 200 or 400 meter sprint?
All of those USSR and GDR triumphs feil through because their athletes were 'doctored' and ran on 'chemics'.
Athletics is a cheep kind of sport, you only need a pair of trainers, and in some of the poorest countries, the young runners even train barefoot on dirt tracks. Some goes for boxing, many ball games and more that can be practised cheaply using only minimal facilities.
FS, gymnastics, swimming, etc. are expensive because of the required infrastructure and specialised trainers, so it mostly has kids from more affluent parents practise it. Esp. in the west where sports are mostly a privately owned commercial businesses.
Many team sports are practised at a decent level in schools, high schools and colleges, feeding talent to an overall program on national level if there are competent governing bodies.
But what if a NOC like Jamaica has unlimited funds and wants to put its stamp on worldwide figure skating?
Setting up their own Crystal Dome to study and apply the Tutberidze Effect to athletes from a whole different gene pool?
Traditional dance will suffice for choreography and physical fitness. Since classical ballet and its aesthetics of posture and extension and is considered traditionally western and white? What will the result be? Athletes of impressive physical prowess but no more than jumping jocks? The ISU rules shouldn't discriminate against any cultural image, dance and expression, but subconsciously still do in the minds of the majority of judges.
It would certainly be interesting and innovative, and not sedate at all, unlike the perceived image of figure skating as only being pretty petite and curvy young women drawing scrolls and serpentines on ice.

), but you have to develop many different abilities, so one small advance in something is not as big advance in complex.
