I am a novice with a Canon 7 D. I tried to shoot my daughter's gymnastics meets last season, but did not do well. What lens do I need?

I am a novice with a Canon 7 D. I tried to shoot my daughter's gymnastics meets last season, but did not do well. What lens do I need?

at least a $50 lens .............. 50mm 1.8
(but spend more for a better lens !)

8 years ago with a digital Rebel XSi - f2.8 1/500 iso 3200

So, if I wanted something good, what lens would that be?

 

[weepete]

a Canon 70-200 f2.8 L IS ii or a 300mm f2.8, or a 200mm f2.8 L or a 135mm f2 L, possibly even the 85mm f1.8 L depending on how close you can get.
