I don't remember any comics saying they were given strength, speed etc by the Gods. Only that they don't age. Am i missing something?

They were said to be created by Aphrodite so I presume yes.

The Bana backup from a few months ago had Faruka commenting snidely how the Themyscirans get speed/strength blessings along with immortality in exchange for guarding the door, commenting how if any other Amazon wanted such power they had to fight and earn it. Basically treating the Themyscirans as getting freebie powers for nothing
Its from an outside perspective regarding Themyscira Amazons as a whole so 'Diana vs other Amazons' was not really something discussed.
That said, Trial of the Amazons showed Donna, Philipus, and Yara racing as fast as they could go and despite Yara being half god and Donna flying, Philipus was keeping the same pace with them. So make of that what you will
Lazy art and writing.
The same type of thing that happens in animation and other comic books. How does Batman without his jet get by as fast in a city as Superman? Just an example. How does Batman in animated shows dodge multiple gunfire and do standing 20 feet or more leaps? Just lazy writing and animation.
But this doesn't explain anything. Diana was given powers from many Gods. Including Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, Apollo, Zeus, Hephaestus, Hermes. How are all amazons equal to her? They never show her own powers and performances. Yet according to this event. We are supposed to believe they are all on the same level.

I always thought Nubia was supposed to be Diana's equal with Donna being just slightly below Diana. Not sure where Artemis is supposed to rank. Hippolyta was supposed to be a little stronger than the average Amazon, except when she wore her girdle, then she was unbeatable. But not sure if all of these ideas are still canon.
