So what do you do when multiple athletic disciplines are performed on the same pitch/track?

The present 'system' in the sports key is duck tagging.

There is a lot of those from the early days, yes. That does not mean it is necessary to introduce a whole lot more.

For example ... football could have been tagged
sport=football
football:soccer=yes

I gave you an example where subtagging in sport worked well.

Is one method better than the other? I don't think there is a clear winner there, more personal opinion.

The way to deal with chaos is structure, in my opinion.

To get back to part of my original question ... shot_put looks to be preferred over shotput.

Good, one thing we agree on.

Well ... 'we' did.
I have just bought a new large Dictionary .. A 'Macquarie' .. about 1,500 A4 pages, it is not the latest not their 'gold plated version' (that would cost several hundred dollars).

That has "Shot-put" ... note the dash, not an uderscore. So I am back to thinking about it. The dictionary has this to say about '-' usage .."British style tends to use them where American style would avoid them by means of either a spaced or set-solid alternatives. See, for example, *hot dog* where two variants *hot-dog* and *hotdog* are also given."
