Correct. But the wiki page for Athletics has no way of
noting/adding/separating the various sports. And I think it too will
fail due to anyway a mapper can see to map the individual sports. In
fact the wiki page on athletics in sparse on information as to what it
applies to, I assume it excludes running? The past sport=football failed
for much the same reason I would think.... and now each type of football
has its own entry.

Tag info has small numbers .. showing what mappers want to map .. but no
wiki page so there is no obvious way of tagging these sports ... so
there are some variations;
51 sport=shot_put
7 sport=shot put
5 sport=shot-put
2 sport=shot
1 sport=Shot put
1 sport=Shot_Put
and a little of the others ..
8 sport=javelin
6 sport=hammer_throw
10 sport=discus
6 sport=discus_throw
and so on (I'm not typing them all out to document the variations that
people are using).
If athletics is to be used it should be properly documented .. shall I
put the tagging of running under the key athletics to a vote? Only 5,400
instances in the data base against it ?
I view it as the same instance as shop=jewellery ... lost because of
past use.
