OK , I've just done this.

but

Is this sentence correct:

He is a sporting hero. OR He is a sporty hero.

Both sporting and sporty are adjcetives.

Also,

My son is a champion. OR My son is an athlete.

Which one of them is more correct?

Can anybody show me special difficulties among these words?!!

The first case is complicated, and it would be helpful to have some more context, but I think what you mean to say is:

"He is a hero at sports."

Although "hero" isn't really a word I would use to describe someone who is good at sports.

In the second case, both of those sentences are correct, but they mean very different things.

An "athlete" is someone who does a sport.

A "champion" is someone who does a sport and wins.

So you might say:

"My son is an athlete. He ran in the Boston Marathon."

Or

"My son is a champion. He won the Boston Marathon."

You can also use "champion" in a more figurative sense. You might say:

"My son ran in the Boston Marathon. He didn't win, but I am still very proud of him. To me, he is a champion."
