As far as the olympics are concerned, you are prolly way too late. But in the future, determine in advance, like 3-4 weeks (at least), an event that you'd like to photograph at call them and ask to speak to the pr or press person. Keep in mind that you'll have lots better luck if you start out with smaller venues in mind. You'll have to do lots of convincing if you're not actually there for a publication though, so the best way would be to pitch yourself to a smaller paper in your area and try to get assigned to cover these types of events. That way you not only get to go photograph them without much hassle, you will prolly get paid something to do it.
