Sport climbing
Since I had no idea what this new Olympic event was I decided to tape some of it - and was fascinated. First, it meets my criteria for what is a "real" sport: objective measurements rather than style points (how fast you get up a wall, how far you get up, etc), and second, I've fallen off a (low) cliff or two back in the day so I can relate. I am amazed by the strength and agility the women climbers showed.
And just as one of the climbers looked like she'd be the first one to reach the top of a climb the gd NBC-affiliate feed cut off!
