I bet %95 of the people who do Ski jumping are THAT GOOD because they are already an elite subset of the population. That is probably true for all the professional athletes.
As a result, athletes mostly compete on the higher end where everyone is very good and all the hard work they put in barely moves the needle due to the law of diminishing returns.
My point is, the percentile is likely to be defined around how hard or easy it is to reach the point where putting in effort starts yielding less and less of returns.
