This can’t be the whole story, otherwise we’d see places like Chile, Peru, and India competing too

India? the sea and the himalayas are too far apart to compare.

India’s Deccan Plateau is about as elevated as most of Kenya’s highlands and takes up basically the entire land area of India that sticks out into the ocean

No idea about the other two, but India’s sports administration is corrupt to the core. Funds are stolen by those on top, and athletes who complain - even about obviously criminal things like sexual assault - are pushed out. Some sports bodies (chess, for example) are better, but the big ones (cricket, wrestling, football) are mostly bad.
