The Omega site discloses very little detail, rather statistics on how much gear and staff there is. I could hand them a 2.048 MHz on each venue, but I doubt that they would need it. They could have got more timing-oriented time if they would have asked for it, but they haven't. I rather suspect that for most venues they have local clocks and they have TV generators so the clocks of the screen come from there anyway. They mostly need relative timing anyway, so I don't suspect a distribution network. The only distribution they need is the TV pictures and it's there.
