competition
'Wettkampf' and 'Regatta' both belong to sports and refer to a competition with participants. However, 'Wettkampf' is a general word and works for many sports, for example running, gymnastics, or swimming. 'Regatta' is much more specific: it is used for races with boats, especially in sailing or rowing. If you only want to say that athletes are competing against each other, 'Wettkampf' fits. If boats are racing against each other on the water, 'Regatta' is more precise and more natural.
Am See beobachten viele Zuschauer die Regatta der Ruderboote.

Vor dem Wettkampf wärmen sich die Sportler gründlich auf.
