Most of all, you both missed the, perhaps too subtle, joke. There are some great fast action images in this thread. Bowling is also a sport, but other than a rolling ball that still takes seconds to reach the pins, the action is comparatively slow and easy to predict the peak. Not all sports photography needs sophisticated gear!

I took this shot last May at an event near my hometown.
With this jump Eicke Onnen qualified for the Rio Olympics last summer. He was pretty exited!

Not a sport but might be even harder for the camera to capture. Very low light and fast action.

Probably the closest I'll get to sports photography. Taken with my K3 and Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 while walking from Bournemouth to Poole last October. Happily I did manage one "OOPS!" All of these are 100% crops from the jpg as processed by Lightroom from the original DNG.

Great "Oops!" shot.
