Yeah, I know. I was out of it. But at least we eliminsted some major sports.
I don't think you did.
Surely we have eliminated, for example, football? That is frequently referred to as a "game".
Yes, fair. All variants of football eliminated.

The person was described by the QM as a "professional sportsman".

Was he known for any kind of racing (foot racing, swimming, boat racing, auto racing, etc.), any kind of sport involving snow or ice, or any kind of sport involving weapons (swords, guns, archery, etc.)?

Don't understand the edit but I'll err on the generous side. Born before 1885.
