Remember 'that' group was not selected from a random population, the girls were picked from swimmers who were already excelling as age groupers.

Besides, I am sure talent id still happens in some shape or form.

I don't think Adlington was ever part of 'that' group either although I am sure her talent was identified.

You're right that Adlington wasn't on the "Smart Track" - but she was well known at that age - in the European Youth Olympics team in 2003 for example.
