What is a "competitor"?

A competitor is a person or team that takes part in a competition or event, aiming to win or achieve a high ranking. Competitors can participate in various sports, contests, or challenges, where they are evaluated based on their skills, performance, and abilities. The term emphasizes the idea of rivalry, as competitors strive to outperform others in pursuit of victory. They may compete at different levels, from local events to international tournaments, and the outcome often determines their recognition and success in their field.
