Small ring fixed up for weaving contest (6)
I believe the answer is:
slalom
'weaving contest' is the definition.
'slalom' can be an answer for 'contest' (slalom is a kind of contest). I am not sure about the 'weaving' bit.
'small ring fixed up' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'O' (letter resembling a ring).
'fixed up' is an anagram indicator (the order of letters must be fixed).
'small'+'o'='smallo'
'smallo' anagrammed gives 'SLALOM'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slalom that I've seen before include "Skiing obstacle race" , "Ski race down zig-zag course" , "Downhill ski-race over a winding course" , "Winter Olympic event" , "Downhill race over a winding course on skis" .)
