They're alreading selling the Olympic merchandise overseas anyway.
Honestly, I don't think the Olympic games attract that many tourists from overseas, aside from the athletes families and sporting/olympic officials. Tickets are expensive and hard to get, accomodation goes up during the games, who can afford it anymore? Apart from the opening ceremony most people probably don't watch it on TV either. Except for a couple of events, it's just not that exciting.
