Hammer thrower exercises in village (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorpe

'village' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hammer thrower exercises' is the wordplay.
'hammer thrower' becomes 'Thor' (the Norse god Thor wields a hammer).
'exercises' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education).
'thor'+'pe'='THORPE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thorpe that I've seen before include "Village" , "Aussie Pools winner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
