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.
Yes and for good reason. Soccer and American Football are comnpletly
different sports,
and have completely different pitches.
But in this area you find a good example: Gaelic football (in which
you can use hands)
used to be tagged as sport=gaelic_football, but that was deprecated
and replaced by
sport=gaelic_games, since half a dozen other gaelic games are played
on the same pitch.
Now you can easily sub-tag the specific games played on a particular
pitch, while
a passer-by mapper can initially apply the major catagory
(recognisable by the high goal posts)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dgaelic_games
Athletics is another case where multiple disciplines are performed on
the same pitch/track.
No!
Running sports have a particular track, not used for shot put, hammer,
discus, long jump etc etc.
I don't think long jump pitches are not used for any other sport? Do you
have an example?
Discus and hammer throws can share the same 'cage' ... but that means
those 'caged' areas cannot be used for javelin, high jump, pole vault etc.
Sports that are played on the same pitch/track are not grouped together
... for example netball and basketball can share pitches .. as they can
also share pitches with tennis too ...
So my recommendation is to tag all athletics facilities with
sport=athletics, and sub-tag
athletics:long_jump = yes
athletics:shot_put = yes
etc.
If athletics is to be used it should be properly documented ..

Providing a plausible alternative tagging scheme would work best here,
see the success of the structured amenity=social_facility.
I see no need to deprecate sport=running at this stage.
So .. you see sport=running as viable.
Then using the same logic sport=shot_put is also viable ... and so on
for the other 'athletic' sports.
