Crossword Genius

Vessel taken by gymnast (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tumbler

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'gymnast' is the second definition.
(I know that tumbler is a type of gymnast)

'taken by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tumbler that I've seen before include "Drinking glass or old acrobat" , "slipper may become this" , "Type of drinking glass" , "A large glass" , "One flips" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
