No, the word 'athletes' is a noun, the plural form for the noun athlete; a word for someone who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise; a word for a person.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. The pronoun that takes the place of the plural noun athletes is they (for a subject) and them (for an object).

Example: The athletes are ready. They are all on the field. It's time to put them through their paces. (the pronouns 'they' and 'them' take the place of the noun 'athletes')
