How to unlock the TR2 I Only Play for Sport! Still! achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Definitive Guide

This is nowhere near as hard or demanding as it might seem after your first playthrough. I did this during my Pistols only-run (that failed due to glitches or me using the MG-snowmobile) so I wasted a lot of time shooting enemies.

Most importantly; picture-mode actually stops the timer. So if you need to take a piss or sth else, activate photo-mode. Inventory does NOT stop the timer.

Now for the big time-savers; you can skip 90% of Operahouse and Temple of Xian - both massive timesinks when played regularly. Check vid below for method.

Monastery has a glitch where you only need 1 of the Prayer-things that allows you to "dupe" the key-item and skip the other 4. Rush one of the keys without picking up any other key-items, insert the first with ACTION and then walk up to the other openings, manually open inventory and "use" the Seraph. Rinse, repeat. Monastery in less than 10 minutes.

There are also a bunch of other skips, some easy to pull off, others not so much.
For example, you don't need to blow up the house to get into the Opera-house - instead climb the house and hold ACTION at the left side.

If you wanna go as fast as possible, either watch the entire speedrun or look at levels you don't like as much/don't know the way.

But besides the 3 mentioned I barely used major skips, but went at a steady pace, ignoring enemies when possible and focusing on getting out.

A heads-up you can pair this with newgame+ too to save an extra playthrough! I got just under 5 hours, some of the big shortcuts to cut on time and avoided enemies where I could.
