Tell me whether the following people are athletes: LeBron James, Eileen Gu, Bjergsen, Rory McIlroy, Naomi Osaka.
All of these people are athletes with the exception of Bjergsen. Bjergsen is a League of Legends (LoL) player. While LoL is considered an e-sport, its players do not fit into the traditional definition of an athlete, which is generally defined as someone who competes in physical sports. Having said that, some would say that competitive e-sports require significant mental stamina and finger dexterity, so one could argue that Bjergsen is an athlete.
