sports highlight

Top play recap

A sports highlight is a brief clip showcasing the most exciting or significant moments from a game or athletic event—a spectacular catch, a game-winning shot, a dramatic collision.

Highlights compress hours of competition into seconds of peak action: I missed the game but caught the highlights on the news.

The plural often functions as a genre: watching highlights on YouTube.
