I suppose that, like any good Wikimedian, we like to balance ourselves on the edge cases. We can imagine many. The underlying case would be IOC vs. Uploader. These other points about joint authorship and photo editing really have more bearing on the identity of the defendant.
I assume that the IOC has been granted some sort of permission by the various participants in the olympic events. So if you're photographing, say, the opening ceremony, then your concern would not only be with regard to the rights of the IOC directly, but also with the rights of any opening ceremony participants who granted an exclusive license to IOC.
