In a lot of third world countries sports is looked upon as a way out of poverty. For track and field there is no over head cost, just start running. The faster that you run the better your chance of getting out of poverty. The most extreme exampe of this is in Kenya.

baseball in Cuba! you do good and your entire family will proper
The same for soccer in brazil and other latin american countries. In england there is a soccer acadamy on every block (hyperbole but you get the point).
In the US, in black neighborhood basketball is viewed in the same manner
more and more in Europe basketball is turning in a factory which churn out players.
go in to any neighborhood in the US (white, black, latino) and no one is doing track and field or soccer and thus our results in those sports will be limited.
