I think I took a telephoto to one sports outing. The results looked typical so I never tried again.

I completely agree Kip. By the way great pic of wheelchair runner you did. Finally I am beginning to be interested in sport photography, but with the "street" style (to put it simply). I think it is cool, really, and by adding more of the context and specific angles and vantage point you can do with wide angle you come up with something different. Anyway I have now completely forgotten how to use a telephoto....

I recall some amazing vintage wide angle photographies of the Tour de France made on some narrow steep road in the Alps. Indeed something completely remote from the contemporary sports-photography you mention.
