Clarify for me plz, does “football” mean American football, or rest-of-the-world football?

The question, as asked, did not make that distinction, but this dude is not known for either.

I’m out of DQs, but if you have any left Prof, see if you can narrow done which sport. Gymnastics, ice skating, weightlifting, etc.

Nope, I’m out as well. Known partly for a team sport suggests a runner or a swimmer, since they compete as part of a team as well as on their own.

I’m stuck, drawing blanks, getting no nibbles, lost at sea. I pass.

Let’s have any “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions, one apiece, by noon EST tomorrow, and then if no one gets it I’ll reveal the answer.

I’m not coming up with much, but:

Are you Giovanni Evangelisti?

I thought of this name as I was climbing the steps: are you Stefan Edberg?

Ding ding ding! Yes, indeed, I am Swedish tennis ace

Stefan Edberg

I was interested to learn that his only Olympic appearance (which he won in men’s singles) was in 1984, when tennis was a demonstration sport: Stefan Edberg - Wikipedia

Good job, KO! Please start a new thread for August.
