Post-London 2012: following the sports you're now interested in

Call this a crowdsource experiment. As Lex put it:

I saw SO MUCH enthusiasm coming from people who did not consider themselves "sports fans" because the nature of sports coverage across the board explicitly alienated them - and over the past fortnight they realised that there were sports and athletes for them.

In my case I've always enjoyed the archery and fencing I have seen in the Olympics, now I kinda want to follow them a little more. So my questions are:

* What sports newly caught your eye?
* Does anyone know the best way to follow them more thoroughly?

Meaning in the latter case things like mirrored TV feeds, sure, but also online news sites, communities, podcasts/videocasts, championship schedules, etc.

to steal an ilf phrase that really can be applied to any sport: there is always a game on somewhere

yeah but that gets at a point i was trying to make in the Olympics thread - it's not enough for a sport to just be ON, there has to be an attendant buzz of rumor, anticipation and pomp; it needs to connect you with others. i think that's part of why the Olympics are so emotionally powerful - when we know on some intuitive, subconscious level that we're sharing these moments with a huge number of other people - some of whom we probably know! - our emotions get magnified, the way you laugh harder in a full audience than alone

Well duh.

So lets find Ned a local fencing community.
