The Hunger Games

Is this sentence is foreshadowing "In District 12, we call them the Career Tributes, or just the Careers. And like as not, the winner will be one of them." If yes then what is going to happen

I think it foreshadows that Katniss is playing against overwhelming odds. The likelihood of a poor girl from District 12 beating kids who have had backing, money, and training is pretty remote. This sets up some of the major conflict and action points that happen later in the story.
