I don't know if you could recreate the same kind of flahes you'd get
at the olymic-type events.

The reason that those show up like that are because flash lamps in
cameras use extremely high intensity bulbs that require capacitors to
charge large amounts of energy. Not only that, but sometimes you see a
"star" around the flash, (kind of like when you're driving down road
at night) that's because of imperfections in the TV camera len's, if
you were at the olympics and didn't have glasses on it would just look
like hundreds of little points of light.
