This is answer is incorrect! We are looking for his nickname not his real name. -5 points.
Funny that you ask for his nickname as he was never called that way...
I knew his nickname, sports commentators mentioned it now and then, although he wasn't called it regularly. many sportsmen had to be named in this episode of the amazing race. I wanted to mix things up and ask for a nickname 🙂
