¿Por qué es masculine?

Atletas is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "atleta," borrowed from Greek "ἀθλητής" (athlētēs). While the "-a" ending typically marks feminine nouns in Portuguese, "atleta" is one of several nouns ending in "-a" that are grammatically masculine. This pattern includes other professions and agent nouns (like "pianista," "dentista") that maintain masculine gender regardless of their ending, likely due to their etymological origin and usage conventions established before modern Portuguese gender rules solidified.
