Are you suggesting it's someone who is an entertainer and a sportsperson?

I thought it was established that sports was a subset of entertainment?

Strictly speaking you haven't excluded stage actor but I guess that's unlikely as most will have been in tv/movie.

There is non-acting tv/movie industry roles [film director being the most obvious].

Dancer? Perhaps music industry excludes.

Journalist?

Circus artiste?

My money is on sports or film director.
