I think OP meant "raw human performance" rather than "raw human potential".

IMO, better training counts as "raw performance". I think that's more interesting than somebody happening to be born with a genetic advantage.

Nah, common misconception.

Progress had been steady for decades, but was interrupted by WW2.

There was one other person who did it a sub 4 minute a month and a half after him, then 3 more people the next year.

It was more down to improvement in training (Bannister was doing interval training, which was a new idea at the time).
