16. I have always found it to be very arrogant....

... and not humble at all... but more than that it diminishes all of the effort and hard work the athlete put into the result themselves.... the same way addicts claim god helped them overcome addiction, when in fact the hard yards were put in by the recovering addict themselves... and, as an aside, where was god when they were getting hooked in the first place? Helping someone else run a sub 10 second 100 meters?

All completely daft.
