English term or phrase: sporting world
"She was a famous woman of the sporting world in the city." Това е обобщавато изречение, след като преди това е споменато, че въпросната жена е държала публичен дом и е била мадам. Срещала съм sports само като сленг за хазарт.

спортния свят
Explanation:
Just an example- if you remember the film- This Sporting Life
it had the same translation publicly accepted- Спортен живот.
Still the context or something else should indicate the implication.

(в света на) местните креватни гимнастици


Explanation:
Още едно предложение. Може би не бива да търсим толкова буквален превод.

"Тя беше известно име в света на местните креватни гимнастици."
или
"Тя беше известна сред местните креватни гимнастици."

Вижте това значение на sporting:
An activity common of immature men in their 20s and 30s requiring no skill or physical prowess and often in a competitive nature, that consists of pursuing pleasurable pastimes with women for pure amusement or sport, recklessly treating them as a plaything. This act of play and open-air engagement is also common among children and animals.

agree  invguy: Това си помислих и аз. Особено имайки предвид предлога famous woman *of* the sporting world (не to или among). Би могло да се каже и направо "в тези кръгове/среди". Но разбира се, преди всички зависи от общия контекст.

В света на проституцията


Explanation:
Както вече съм писал в един от предните Ви въпроси, sport също може да означава проститутка (вкл. мъжка проститутка).

http://multitran.ru/c/m.exe?l1=1&l2=2&s=sport

sport: табу., сл. женщина легкого поведения, проститутка (в том числе мужчина, распутный человек.
