In a track race, everyone starts when the gun sounds. Everyone has a fair chance. We watch the runners, and we watch for anyone who falls, ready to help them get back up and continue the race. We track the winners and celebrate them, but we also encourage all of the runners to cross the finish line to the best of their ability.
I disagree with people that everyone must run at the same rate, that eliminates the very concept of the contest.
I also disagree with people who say that all of the rewards should only go to the winner, because that discourages people who know they are not fast runners.
Equality of outcome is not the goal. Equality of opportunity and making sure that nobody cheats and that nobody gets hurt, those are goals worth striving for.
