Competitor crashing many GTs (7)

I believe the answer is:

gymnast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'competitor' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'crashing many gts' is the wordplay.
'crashing' indicates an anagram.
'many'+'gts'='manygts'
'manygts' is an anagram of 'GYMNAST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gymnast that I've seen before include "He works out" , "Acrobatic athlete" , "My angst over indoors athlete" , "Agile exerciser" , "Agile athlete" .)
