Writing bound to be a feat of athleticism (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handspring

'a feat of athleticism' is the definition.

'writing bound' is the wordplay.
'writing' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of writing).
'bound' becomes 'spring' ('spring' can be a synonym of 'bound'**).
'hand'+'spring'='HANDSPRING'

'to be' is the link.

(Other definitions for handspring that I've seen before include "Jump using hands" , "Gymnast may perform this" , "turnover" , "Somersault, cartwheel" , "gymnastic feat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
