Unfortunately people will still be bombarded with coverage of it from everywhere else, so probably a futile gesture.
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. ;)
It would be a great reflection on the Olympic movement if the only pictures in Wikipedia were of security and gridlock, with nothing about the athletic events. :-)
