You could contact NBC, at some point they will be selling the Athens Olympics on VHS/DVD.

On an unrelated note... If anyone had a question technically (lighting, rigging, etc) about the opening ceremonies I could probably answer them.

Nope, not at all. I wish! It was awesome. I knew some of the people that worked on it.
