Australia had multiple aborigine tribes still living traditional lives into the 1950s and 60s. At this time, Australia would have been overjoyed to have one or more of these people bringing home gold medals (there were a handful of aboriginal athletes who were heavily promoted at the time, but didn’t do anything amazing by world standards.)

Even today, countries like New Guinea, many African nations, and even much of South and Central America still have traditional tribes to draw upon to make up world beating sports teams. And millions, tens of millions of dollars await the promoter who ventures into the tribal areas and brings back Usain Bolt-crushing superstars. So where are they?
