Often, two or more athletes are duelling. In speed skating, for example, one person is in the outside lane and someone comes past in the inside lane. You are standing in the outside lane.

f/3.2, 1/500s, 640 ISO @ 200mm

You can make use of this. If you focus on the skater or runner in the inside lane, the person in the outside lane will also appear in the frame, albeit out of focus. This immediately gives you a very dynamic image.
