 * I made a mistake and set an athlete’s gender as female, but there is no way to
   edit it to male. I even deleted the entry, cleared cache but when i tried to 
   add him again, his name showed and was only offered to enter his results but 
   could not be added as new.

 * had to delete them from the built-in wp users.
    Updating their name from wp users
   does not work.May be if you login as the user but it is hard for admin to login
   for 300 members to manage such stuff.

 * There is a table called `wp_usermeta`which contains `parameter = value` type 
   data. Look for `first_name` and `last_name` values in the meta_key field. The
   corresponding `userid`ties to the `wp_user` table. Probably not the answer you
   wanted, but hopefully better than having to log in as every user!
