Do I have a chance for Olympics?

I've been running for a few years, I am 18 years old. Today was my fastest ever 4 mile, which was 17 minutes and 12 seconds. Do I have a chance for Olympics track and field 5k and 10k runs?

    You definitely have a chance, in my opinion. Your pace from that 4 mile is a 4:18 per mile. The 5k Olympic qualifier times for 2012 was 13:33 which is a 4:22 pace. If you keep training and keep at it you probably will do well.

    Maybe. You seem like you run pretty good. Keep practicing and you'll get there. One day.

    Impossible to say, you need to train and mature to know what your potential might be.
