Characters seen in riskier sports? (6)
I believe the answer is:
skiers
'characters' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'in riskier sports?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SKIERS' is hidden in the letters of 'riskier sports'.
'seen' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skiers that I've seen before include "Kisser among snow sportsmen" , "Winter sportsmen" , "Persons on the slopes" , "They glide across snow for sport" , "aerial shots" .)
