I miss ABC's Wide World Of Sports, with Howard Cosell.
" The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. "
Found it. I've always remembered the shot of the ski jumper eating crap at the take-off ramp
Although one of the most amazing wipeouts in ski racing is the Austrian great Hermann Maier crash at the 1998 Nagano Olympics. Although the variety of crashes on the Kitzbuhel downhill course in Austria is pretty impressive as well with many ski racers over time knocked flat unconscious and airlifted as a result of bad crashes.

I hate to think of where you have the little red cape mounted.
And / or what your enthusiasm level is for " getting gored by the bull ".
Too much information.

Nothing says sport like bullfighting on TV in the 1960's. Those were the days! (yeah I was a kid in the 60's)
Could you imagine the anxiety-ridden hand-wringing that would ensue from a televised bullfight nowadays Have always wanted to go to Spain to watch one
I went on a high school trip to Spain, and we saw a bullfight while we were there.
I was sickened, personally. It just felt like a lot of unnecessary cruelty.
Yeah I'd have to agree, I don't see any sport whatsoever in bullfighting.
whatever happened to unarmed bull JUMPING. (was in the ancient Olympics) Now, that would take some skill.
