Expert supports outrageous risk in competition (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ski race

'competition' is the definition.
(ski race is a kind of competition)

'expert supports outrageous risk' is the wordplay.
'expert' becomes 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good).
'supports' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (bottom letters provide a support for the top ones).
'outrageous' indicates anagramming the letters (an outrageous spelling).
'risk' anagrammed gives 'skir'.
'ace' after 'skir' is 'SKI RACE'.

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
