There can be a lot more to having a physical advantage in a sport than just body type.

I agree. For example, what we think of as "mental" or "psychological" differences, such as greater willpower or better memory, are probably influenced by physical features of the brain, and one person's brain structure might provide a disproportionate advantage that is analogous to the advantage in "physique" that you speak of.
