Off the Grid: Sally breaks down Athletes’ Parade

There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today’s puzzle before reading further! Athletes’ Parade
Constructor: Jared Goudsmit

ATHLETES’ PARADE: The first word of each theme answer is a type of ATHLETE. Today’s PARADE features a BREAKER, BOXER, and SAILOR.
I have enjoyed the Olympic-themed puzzles that we’ve seen during the last two weeks. This includes “Torchbearers” on July 26, “Floor Routine” on August 2, and “Athletes’ Parade” today. In today’s theme, I appreciate that the words BREAKER, BOXER, and SAILOR have completely different meanings in the theme answers than they do when used to refer to athletes. I have watched a little bit of the Olympics, but I haven’t watched breaking, boxing, or sailing yet. This puzzle might be my nudge to do so. Thank you, Jared, for this timely puzzle.
