Calling him a long shot for Olympics is a joke. Ask is rivals what they thought of his recent 1500? I'm think they took notice.
Not clear that anyone did call him a long shot to make the Olympic team. My reading of the post was that he was a long shot to medal at the Olympics (which is certainly true) or perhaps to make the finals at the Games (which is also true).
And it is only by medaling (or at least making the finals) that the big exposure comes for these kids and their sponsors.
