Does anyone know where I can get a good set of DVD recordings of Olympic swimming events? I see that NBC has four--opening/closing ceremonies, a Michael Phelps special, and a highlights thing.
What if I want something more specific? or even from a previous Olympic games? Does anybody anywhere on the planet sell such videos?
Please do not refer me to the online streaming stuff. That is not an option for me; and then it's not the quality I want either.
Thanks.

They own all video rights to the Olympics
Are you sure about this? What about sportscasters from other nations? In my experience, Japanese and French television coverage of Olympic events is always vastly superior to US television coverage. I really don't care what language the narrators are speaking. I'm interested in watching technique.
BTW, as an update, I tried to phone Mike Ungar but he was out to lunch. I'll try again soon. Of course, I'll try corresponding with the NBC people. I have a stinking suspicion that they're in it for the money; and nitch markets like this won't interest them.
I'm also pinging some friends in Europe, China and Australia to see if they have access to any such products.
