Exclusivity is a failure mode for copyright. Mandatory licensing should’ve been the immediate goal as soon as Netflix started losing content. Blatantly awful for consumers - and we’re talking about giving companies money.

If you don’t mind the commentary being in French, you should be able to watch the games on https://france.tv for free (needs an account). I don’t know if a VPN located in France is needed

VPN, pick Canadian server, go here https://www.cbc.ca/player/sports/olympics/summer/replays
Am I just failing to use that site properly, or is it missing a ton of stuff in ‘replays’ that was available live?
I feel like the CBC had a better version of this thing 12 years ago.
