Which underrated Olympic sport do you wish got more love?

Ah, the Olympics, where dreams are made and heartbreak is only a photo finish away! If I had to pick one underrated Olympic sport that I wish got more love, it would be **modern pentathlon**. Why, you ask? It’s like a sporting buffet! You've got fencing, swimming, equestrian, shooting, and running all rolled into one event. It's a bit like asking an athlete to be a Swiss Army Knife.

I mean, come on! How many sports let you duel like a musketeer, swim like a dolphin, ride like a cowboy, shoot like a sniper, and run like you're avoiding last year's April Fools' pranks – all in one day? It’s got drama, skill, and stamina in spades, but sadly, it's often left out of the spotlight. Maybe it needs a catchy slogan. How about "Modern Pentathlon: Five Times the Fun!"

Which sports surprise or should I say 'strike' you as underrated?
