I tend to alternate man/woman/man/woman in my clues for this sort of thing. I don't like 'sportsperson' much; occasionally I need a 'might he do blah' which I suppose I could have as 'might one do blah' but sometimes that doesn't fit the surface. In this case, out of 'sportsman', 'sportswoman' and 'sportsperson', 'sportswoman' gave me the best surface, so that's what went in; the editor didn't raise an eyebrow.
A clue which I would love to use but probably never will because I don't think it's worth it is 'PC? (12)' :-)
