gengo (San Francisco, California, US - American English):

An athlete is defined as "a person trained to compete in sports or exercises involving physical strength, speed, or endurance," or "a person who has a natural aptitude for physical activities." We usually use the word athlete to refer to someone who is very involved in sports, and spends a lot of time doing them. We don't use the word sportsman very often, although we often refer to good or bad sportsmanship.
