You call them underachievers.
All down to them!! Nobody else has any responsibility. If they fail they are underachievers. If they succeed suddenly they belong. There will be no shortage of politicians to praise them if they do well.
I think they are mainly people who weren't supported enough. Masses of talent but the country wasn't interested in supporting them whereas numerous other countries do support their Junior Internationalists.
When you get picked over by your own organisers and coaches though it's the pits.
