Maybe you’ve been watching the Olympics today. Good, great choice, but there’s great sporting achievements happening outside Rio as well. 

Look at this guy who decided to use suction cups to scale the side of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. This is the best sports event happening on American soil today.

The good news for this guy is that climbing will be a sport at the 2020 Olympics, so he can set his sights a little higher than climbing the side of buildings owned by orange xenophobes. 

UPDATE (6:40 p.m. ET): They got him!
