I don't know what country you are referring to. The US has a good population to find candidates. I know the US wouldn't win every event, but I the amount of overall medals would increase drastically.
Some events like 100m and such you can only train so much for and then it's god given talent.
Countries like China this happens. They are selected at a very young age and must train like it's their job.
