I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'sundry' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'olympic sportsmen' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for divers that I've seen before include "people going to bed?" , "Many and different" , "footballers going to the ground, needlessly" , "Plungers" , "Underwater, they are many and various" .)
