DVD Talk Special Edition
Not really sure. This is what was stated in the email
Also, we wanted to let you know that our special edition of Kon Ichikawa’s astonishing documentary Tokyo Olympiad is now out of print. If you haven’t yet seen it, check with your favorite retailer—there may be a few copies left! You can read more about the film below in From the Collection.

Maybe it will come back. The newsletter seems to emphasize it in a way that feels like they want to get rid of stock (Opening the newsletter with the OOP declaration and then featuring the DVD at the end), so they can re-issue it in a better form (if that's possible).

I've had this DVD for years. It's a great documentary showing the Olympics with a different eye.

That had a similar warning when "The Harder They Come" went OOP, and they haven't reissued that... (in fact, the OOP criterion has risen to a whooping $30 on amazon marketplace...)

Finally got this today. I was starting to worry it got lost. Again thanks to the OP. I wanted this one for a long time (since laserdisc) and would have kicked myself for missing it.

Get it if you can. It will not be a re-released apparently.
A rep from Criterion responded to an email inquiry with this reply:
"Unfortunately this title is going out of print for good. Thanks for your
email!
Sincerely,
Tamara"
