the OP did ref sport climbing, but i think that you two may not be talking about the same type of "sport" climbing. stone mountain for example, i don't really consider sport climbing editinsert:(as we commonly know it to be) because it's not the aggresive style (and frequently overhanging) type of bolted routes that you would worry about slamming your partner into the wall on. it DOES have bolts however (though sparse), which technically makes it sport climbing on some of the routes. and may of us NC locals lovingly refer to this dynamic belay as the "stone mountain running belay" becuase you're more worried about the nasty runout slab than slamming ankles on some overhanging typical sport climb (which stone doesn't have).
edit: (addition of insert) take a look at stone mountain pics and you'll see why we run.
