Is the canon rf 100 500mm f 4 5 7 1l is usm good for sports?

Yes, it's a reasonable choice for sport, with one caveat. The 100-500mm range covers the sideline-to-far-field reach that sport usually needs. On full frame it frames like the 100-400mm and 200-600mm lenses I usually recommend, and it's stabilised with autofocus, which helps when the action won't wait for you. The catch is the aperture: at f/7.1 on the long end, you'll need good light or a higher ISO in gyms and under floodlights. For sport, I'd pair it with a full-frame body such as the Canon EOS R5 Mark II or Canon EOS R3. On APS-C, the Canon EOS R7 stretches the reach even further. See Wildlife and sport for the reach guidance, and buying used if you want to save on this lens.
