We may not be able to get photos of the glamorous sporting events to illustrate our articles, but there are plenty of associated events that ought to be documented which the IOC can't prevent you from photographing and freely licensing: transport gridlock, surface-to-air missiles on rooftops, soldiers drafted in to cover security etc etc.
Well, you may not run into trouble *with the IOC* for taking pictures of all the security, but you may very well get into trouble with the police / army / private security, and I'm not sure that's preferable :)
(speaking as someone who once covered a G8 summit where security was, well, what you'd expect around a meeting between heads of state and their delegations).
