EN: athlete
An "atleta" is someone who's physically fit and competes in sports, from the barangay basketball league star to an Olympian like Hidilyn Diaz. They're the ones who wake up at 4 AM to train while the rest of us are still scrolling through TikTok. In a family, the "atleta" is the one who eats the most during Noche Buena but somehow never gains weight.
From Spanish "atleta".
The word is gender-neutral in Filipino usage, although its Spanish origin is masculine. It is used for both male and female athletes.
