Gotta lift a different issue here.

There are other Olympics event that can be directly traced as product placement?

Because, let’s assume that the esport picked is Fortnite… wouldn’t be the whole event a big ads for Epic (I am sure they would also put big money to lobby hard in this)?

Olympics are expected to promote products with ads, billboards and whatever… but the event itself?

Thoughts like that is what will prevent idiocracy from happening and I’m not sure I don’t want to see the real world version of that.
