Maybe so, but the example I gave was RUNNING. Running is an integral part of most team sports. And every professional athlete on that show has run at some point in their life. Sucking at biking or swimming can be attributable to not having done it in a long time, but being in ANY sort of shape will let you be a faster runner. And these folks, who are professionals at doing physical activity that involves running, suck at it.
