I disagree. Based on Athens, Beijing and Vancouver (the Olympics I have been following for lodging), rooms always become available at quite reasonable rates within about a month of the event.

Also, it is not the Russian Olympic Committee but the International Olympic Committee that requires all hotel rooms be turned over to them. It is a condition of a city receiving the Olympic bid.
