If it weren't for that relay, I don't think it would have been as bad as it is. But that image of him cheering happened so early, and is the kind of image a producer of hype segments has wet dreams about, so they've jumped all over it. It was also the race he stood the biggest chance of losing, so once that was sealed, they could pretty safely just go ahead and talk as if it were a guarantee from there on out.
