The Summer Olympics are definitely in full swing. You can't turn on the television or make it through your Twitter feed without seeing something about Michael Phelps and his twenty-something medals, the Final Five (love them), or Katie Ledecky and the recent gold for the relay team. The sports that everyone has an interest in are the ones we are most exposed to which makes sense, but have you ever thought about those sports we don't hear too much about on the news? Have you ever flipped on a game of table tennis? How about a fencing match?

The reason I bring this up is because the sports that don't get as much air time on America's televisions deserve some recognition. Just as names as Simone Biles and Ryan Lochte put in thousands of hours of training for just one Olympics, so do the athletes in the less televised sports. While their training might be different, that doesn't make it any less important or noteworthy. There is a lot we can learn from the sports everyone watches on television, but there is also much to appreciate from those sports we don't normally hear about from TV or the internet.
