This video has gotten a lot of attention today, and although it doesn't exactly show a sport, it does show such great athleticism that it's worth posting here:
The guy who did that backflip off a moving truck was, I guess, a teenager. And unless that video was some type of hoax, he's also an outstanding athlete -- how many people have the kind of balance, coordination, and fast-twitch muscle fibers in their legs to pull that off? I wonder if he plays sports at his high school. It seems like a lot of high school sports are so rigidly structured that many of the most gifted athletes would rather mess around in parking lots than play on a team.

I'm definitely calling fake. The truck passing in front of the kid right before he does the move, the wonky camera angle as it happens, followed by the camera losing sight of him for a second afterwards, all throw enough water on it to make me highly suspicious. It's also got just a bit too much polish to be genuine.
Mark my words.
