Hi again! As I commented on the wiki talk page for "sport=shot-put"[1] I
believe the value should be normalised to "shot_put" regardless if it's
the English "shot-put" or American "shot put".
This replacement, "-" to "_", is a typical behaviour in programming (and
as the key=value setup isn't for humans anyway, I think it's logical and
appropriate to use programming practices).
In general it is good to avoid the "-" character in single words/phrases
to avoid cumbersome regular expressions (where - has to be escaped) etc.
as well as special meanings ("start-finish" enumerations for example).
Also all the tags out there, except recently changed by you, are labeled
"shot_put". I guess "shotput" could probably also work, but given the
prevalence of "shot_put" I think that choice is the path of least mistyping.
