How to create an ElasticSearch Index as curl-CodePudding

I have the following query to create an index:

curl -X PUT "http://localhost:9200/my-index-000002?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
   "mappings": {
      "athlete": {
         "properties": {
          "birthdate": {
           "type": "date",
           "format": "dateOptionalTime"
           },
           "location": {
               "type": "geo_point"
            },
            "name": {
               "type": "string"
            },
            "rating": {
             "type": "integer"
          },
          "sport": {
             "type": "string"
          }
        }
     }
   }
}'

I am getting the following error:

{
  "error": {
   "root_cause": [
   {
     "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
     "reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters:  [athlete : {properties={birthdate={format=dateOptionalTime, type=date}, name={type=string}, rating={type=integer}, location={type=geo_point}, sport={type=string}}}]"
   }
  ],
  "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
  "reason": "Failed to parse mapping [_doc]: Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters:  [athlete : {properties={birthdate={format=dateOptionalTime, type=date}, name={type=string}, rating={type=integer}, location={type=geo_point}, sport= {type=string}}}]",
  "caused_by": {
  "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
  "reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters:  [athlete : {properties={birthdate={format=dateOptionalTime, type=date}, name={type=string}, rating={type=integer}, location={type=geo_point}, sport={type=string}}}]"
}
},
"status": 400
}

I think my syntax for creating the index is incorrect. Grateful for any insights. Thank you

Simply remove athlete as there is no need for any mapping type name anymore, the rest is fine:

curl -X PUT "http://localhost:9200/my-index-000002?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
   "mappings": {                     
                                      <---- remove this line
         "properties": {
          "birthdate": {
           "type": "date",
           "format": "dateOptionalTime"
           },
           "location": {
               "type": "geo_point"
            },
            "name": {
               "type": "string"
            },
            "rating": {
             "type": "integer"
          },
          "sport": {
             "type": "string"
          }
        }
   }
}'
