Hi! Are you sure this should be changed to use a dash? The defacto standard seems to be using underscore for spaces and I'll refer to Wikipedia as a reference source that writes the words separately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_put
Underscores generally also replace dashes when normalising tags in other programmatically inspired syntaxes, so I believe the _ should be kept.

I found the wiki page now and it specifies "shot-put" (but there are ~50 "shot_put" and only 11 "shot-put"): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dshot-put
Also as I mentioned, tags are generally normalised so - turns to _, so it would be the same in American and British English. (the tag is only an identifier which should be replaced anyway by interpreting software when internationalized).

A 'tradition'? Well OSM does not conform! For example opening_hours=Mo-Su 08:00-23:00

Further? the 'taginfo' report page on 'characters in keys' says "Any valid Unicode character can appear in an OSM key but usually only lower case latin letters (a-z) and the underscore (_) are used. The colon (:) is often used as a separator character. "
