I mean the way people are born affects their ability to compete in sports.

But what about stories where human(oid) can vary in scale in intensity?

What if you're a mutant who's only slightly faster than average to the point where it's negligible compared to the norm?

What if the juggernaut tried out for the NFL?

Were there stories that discussed ideas like that in a meaningful way?

Yeah, that's similar, but I was more thinking about the implications of super powers on the notion of competitive sports.

I could see a division between human and superhuman. Or maybe anyone suspected of having powers is barred from any competition.
