Competition

Competition links an athlete to the specific tournament where they actually made their name. Wikipedia notes Pele "won three FIFA World Cup titles - in 1958, 1962, and 1970 - becoming the only player to do so." This dimension gathers every athlete who competed in the same named competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What separates this Water and Boat Sports athlete category from Aquatic Sports?

The dividing line is whether a craft carries the athlete, as with rowers and sailors, rather than the athlete's own body in the water.

This subcategory groups athletes who competed from a boat, shell or hull, meaning rowers and sailors. Athletes who compete with their own body in the water are grouped instead under Aquatic Sports, so the dividing line is whether a craft carries the athlete during competition.
