Sportspeople may be professional or amateur. ... The word "athlete" is a romanization of the Greek athlētēs [in rom.], one who participates in a contest; from áthlos [in rom.], or áthlon [in rom.], a contest or feat. The term may be used as a synonym for sportspeople in general, but it also has stronger connotations of people who compete in athletic sports, as opposed to other sporting types such as horse riding and driving. In British English (as well as other variants in the Commonwealth) athlete can also have a more specific meaning of people who compete in the sport of athletics.)
