mathletes

A mathlete is a portmanteau of the words math and athlete. The word is usually used to refer to someone very dedicated to the math team of a primary school or secondary school. More specifically, a mathlete is to the math team as an athlete is to a sports team. This word is especially ironic because stereotypically, those who do well in math team tend to be diametrically opposite to real athletes. The best mathletes in the United States place highly on the AIME, USAMO, and ARML. Those who excel at the ATPAC, ASMA, and NAT are, fortunately or unfortunately, not real mathletes. Those in other countries should also do well on national olympiads (feeders to the International Mathematical Olympiad) to qualify. Note that mathlete is an American term. The term is usually used in a joking manner, or at least with a humorous tone.
