Actually, bozo, the word athlete, as for its greek root αθλητής (athletes), is derived from the word άθλος (athlos), which, allow me to tell you has little to do with jumping, throwing or whatever else monkeys do.
The ancient Greek ἆθλος which derives from the word of the same language ἄεθλον, which means "prize". So, athlos is the general term for a contest that rewards the victor with any form of a prize, without necessarily containing physical feats or being limited to them, but always contained the form of competition know as άμιλλα (amilla) which was competition without rivalry. It also has the meaning of hard labour, as known by Herakles' 12 labours, know in Greek as "Οι δώδεκα άθλοι του Ηρακλή".
So, yes, it's so funny, 'cause you're blabbering, you know.
