A riskier finish for a winter sportsman (5)
I believe the answer is:
skier
This clue might be a double definition.
'a riskier finish' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'winter sportsman' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skier that I've seen before include "One up mountain, perhaps" , "Slider on snow" , "Sport exponent" , "needs catching on way down" , "Mountain racer" .)
