Sport in European cellar (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
pole vault
'sport' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'european cellar' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'pole' (someone from Poland).
'cellar' becomes 'vault' (I've seen this before).
'pole'+'vault'='POLE-VAULT'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pole vault that I've seen before include "Olympic field event" , "High-flying Olympic event" , "Athletic event" , "Field event -- value plot (anag)" , "Sergey Bubka was world champion at this event" .)
