That certainly is a big factor. But knowing what to train and how is also very important.

The relevant question is how each athlete optimizes performance for the specific event. For example, how does someone who excels in short events (age group swimming) goes on to become a world champion in the Ironman or road cycling?

The same analysis will apply to most athletes of varying ability or genetics. Nearly all will not become world champions but all can optimize performance.
