Sportsperson physically flexible and cold at the top (7)
I believe the answer is:
climber
'sportsperson physically' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'flexible and cold at the top' is the wordplay.
'flexible' becomes 'limber' (similar in meaning).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'at the top' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'cold' is 'c'.
'limber' put after 'c' is 'CLIMBER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for climber that I've seen before include "Bonnington" , "in the garden" , "Edward Whymper, for example" , "Mountaineer" , "Plant such as ivy" .)
