Depends on country.
In Russia, physical education for athletes is a sort of a "guaranteed" uni thing, where you will very likely enter based on your athletic achievements, and professors will be very forgiving, based on same.
I see. Do they get an exemption from doing any course work or subjects even? What will they be doing for 4 years until graduation? But yeah it does happen in some of the universities in my country for example where they actually help the students to pass the course work even if you don't have a high sports achievement just to help the university's results performance so imagine if you actually have a notable sports achievement.
