He's taken people up mountains in -15 C wearing just shorts after a few days of training. So I'm not sure it's just him being unique.

Yes, and that is impressive! But he has also set several cold exposure world records that these people probably couldn't replicate that easily, or perhaps ever.

How does that differ from people being able to lift 484kg or run marathon slightly over 2:10?

Them being outliers does not debunk notion of sport and training generally.
