Africans, like Caribbeans, spend a lot of their training in the US and in Europe. So at the very least, I’d expect them to perform similarly to Caribbean athletes.
That’s said, we are talking about a small number of athletes. The reasons why a few emerge above the pack can be totally unrelated to genetics while on average it plays a bigger role, if that makes any sense

Thanks for not calling me a racist.
Different skill, but musicians often group from certain areas. Could just be the local(city) leven culture that encourages certain skills
