Generally no, but dancers, gymnasts, ice skaters, etc I’d say yes. Athletes who are directly judged on form/presentation

What about when a soccer/basketball player does skill moves during a game that are purely for crowd entertainment and personal expression?

That’s not part of the game tho, you don’t have to do that to be a soccer athlete. I’m talking actually earning points as part of your sport for artistry

An athlete can be an artist, but it’s not part of being an athlete
