Altitude helps a lot as in Bob Beamon in 1968 olympics with 29’2 plus long jump and the Kenyan runners who are born and bred at altitude and come to sea level to gain oxygen.
Pieter Manea of Italy had the 200 meter world record at 19.73 for years but it was altitude record as they say.
There is absolutely no advantage in running in humidity but probably an opposite effect? That’s a lame excuse or just a way to take from the Texas superiority in Track snd field.
