40 lacrosse

[eddiebun]

40 French lady - Feminine pronoun La

X - ( sounds like ) crosse


Lacrosse

[eddiebun]

I'm consulting my battered crossword solver book and the only eight letter games or sports I have beginning with C are

CANOEING
COURSING

and CRIBBAGE

Can't see how this would link to the question or to skiing

[sarumite]

There's also CURLING and CYCLO-CROSS but these don't seem appropriate either ! ;o)

[earthakitten]

Thank you so much ...
oldwoman I can see it now but couldn't find it anywhere xx
Christiana and eddiebun got the La bit but couldn't see past roman numerals or X silly me ! xx

[sarumite]

... and they don't even have 8 letters.

[earthakitten]

Thanks eddiebun and sarumite ...
Thinking I may have original 18 wrong then
18. Slalom sport (6) begins S ... I jumped in with skiing but isn't there a type of canoeing (down white water through gates) Does this begin with S. Then Canoeing would fit for 67. ???

And if it's not rude, I have missed one
75. Sport of Isaac Newton (7) begins A

[Trussell]

apple-dunking?

[eddiebun]

75 Could it be Angling

[sarumite]

It would probably be angling for Isaac Newton as he was an eminent mathematician.

[mac44]

75 could be Archery.

[earthakitten]

Thank you all very much. Will google newton archery and angling . Think I'll do it tomorrow. getting a bit late now for kittens who need their beauty sleep, didn't realise the time. Speak tomorrow. Love to you all xx

12. It may be that white clothing is not allowed in TABLE TENNIS - if the ball is white !

[sarumite]

earthakitten the reason it is angling for Newton relates to him being a mathematician and therefore involved with angles ... so it is a play on words viz " Angling". ;0)

18. You're all right with 'skiing' as a slalom sport.
& 67. another slalom sport is 'canoeing'

[earthakitten]

You three were up late !
DP .. You are probably right. Will go and have a look. Don't they wear green ? xx
S ... Thanks again. I was looking for something real but your explanation makes sense. xx
KD ... You have put me right again. Talked myself out of skiing and was thinking the slalom canoeing had a specific name. xx
