The fact that he compared his sport skills (in that case skiing) with an olympionic sport skills. That in my mind sounded like: "Well, she clearly had talent & potential, but he got the Knowledge for skiing, thus was better in that moment"

I don't think the name matters. . the functional piece is someone highly adapted with KPT in their field had only T in the field of skiing. The olympics and her name are just dressing up for the story.
