I can't really think of an athlete who can sing or play an instrument, but I
know the opposite: athletic singers. There are so many in pop music that I
think it's not necessary to cite any at all. And I know there's a famous
Russian baritone who's really athletic, but I can't remember his name.
Concerning the boys' athletic abilities, I have the feeling it has more to
do with their sexuality. Choir boys and ballet dancers in most Western
countries are not considered an example of masculinity I guess, although no
one can deny most ballet dancers have a great masculine body.
