Even so, there are some Olympic sports which are even lesser covered, even during the Olympics festival.

Here are a few sports which are certainly not covered in this space very often, but which you'll enjoy.

PingPong or Table Tennis if you prefer

Judo

Karate

Golf

Olympics Preview - Modern Pentathlon and Brazil's William Muinhos

by Rexswimguy:

Modern Pentathlon has to be the most unusual event in the Olympics with its interesting combination of: 1) fencing, 2) freestyle swimming, 3) show jumping, 4) pistol shooting, and 5) cross-country running.  It's mind-boggling to think about it!

... plus host nation Brazil's entry in this event, William Muinhos, doing a little fencing demonstration.

  (He's definitely not a shy guy.)  Watch for him.
