        Runways are for models too. But not really for athletes.

          Okay let me get this straight. "O atleta" for a male athlete and "a atleta" for a female athlete?

            I used "lane" earlier and now when I write "the athlete runs in the lane" it is wrong

              Runway and track are not synonymous in English (as far as I know).
