Interesting. So are footballers and tennis players not considered ‘athletes’?
They’re still called athletes I guess? but for some reason we* nonetheless never (?) use “athletics” to mean “all sports”. I’d never really thought about how it’s a bit strange until this thread!

That doesn’t sound very American of you…
Well I linked to an article from the Australian national broadcaster, so that tracks :P
