Mostly protein
no they go hungry for days

Olympic divers/ swimmers have a very hard job, and most of these professional athletes practice from 6-12 hours a day so its important to eat lots of calories and carbs. actualy, some divers even eat up to a whomping 30,000 calories a day!
A gram = 1000 milligrams. Therefore, an athlete who eats 40 grams of protein per day will be eating 40,000 milligrams of protein per day.
Unless the rest of the food you eat through the rest of the day are completely devoid of potassium, you are getting small amounts of potassium through the other foods you eat throughout the day. So unless you are training like an Olympic athlete and eating nothing but Ding-Dongs and other junk, you probably aren't going to drop dead from a potassium deficiency if you don't take a potassium supplement.
Eat anything you want and some vegtables and be an athlete you'll do great
"Eat right, train hard, sleep regular."
That depends on the athlete but most athletes stick to the main food groups.
they eat healthy
No, but it is a terrible dietary pattern for an athlete. It would be better to eat 4 smaller meals over the course of a day but you really should talk to your coach and get a proper eating plan to match your training programme.
athletes eat high carbin and protein
