Talent and genetics in competitive martial arts?

[Sambo]

How significant are genetics in the development of competitive fighters? Can elite performance be achieved through just hard training, or does it require more? What do you think separates top-level competitors from everyone else?

but theres been many great fighters who despite physical limitations, trained day and night and day and night and night and day and nigh and night and day and became truly great
