Where are the other sports?

Recently I have always been reading news on certain Olympic sports such as table tennis, tennis, the always popular soccer and basketball and the recent track and field open where Liu Xiang the first Chinese man to win a gold at the 110m hurdles at the last Olympic and who also won the world title last year and breaking the world record. I was actually thinking what about other sports such as Taekwondo the world's most popular martial arts which can be very exciting to watch actually with its fast kicking actions. Equestrian is another sport that is seldom seen on news. In fact it is the only sport that it is with an animal. They said dogs are man's best friends i do agree with that definitely but for those competitors horses I supposed are their best friends.
