Official meaning 'representing the IOC' I assume. That sounds like a very low number. Even in 1936 Leni Riefenstahl had hundreds of photographers and cameramen beavering away. And that was just at her...
There must be thousands of accredited photographers. Every press organisation in the world must have dozens of photographers - probably hundreds, considering the number of events taking place. There are probably as many photographers as there are athletes.
