    Fame name game: a quiz

    Anything Rogin can do ...

    These are the original given names of well-known international sports people. How are they better known, and what are their surnames?

    (e.g. Eldrick Tont = Tiger Woods)

    1. James Cleveland (Jesse Owens - Toby Gymshorts)
    2. Charles Benedict (Ainslie - Southport Zeb)
    3. Hans-Hubert (Vogts - Wittoner)
    4. Francis Morgan (and another name, too helpful to give) (Daley Thompson - Ursus)
    5. Petros (Pete Sampras - Doraemon)
    6. Andreas Nikolaus (Lauda - Ad Hoc)
    7. Frederick Carlton (Lewis - Jah Womble)
    8. Robert Frederick Chelsea (Moore - Ad Hoc)
    9. Catherine Astrid Salome (Freeman - Trois Fois)
    10. John Peter Rhys (JPR Williams - Mumpo)

    One is still competing at the top level, the others are retired or dead.

                    No. Scrub that one. Just checked and he was Charles Burgess Fry.

                          Have updated with answers. Solid performance by the team so far.

                          I only learned that Owens wasn't Jesse recently, from BBC Witness.

                            4 Daley Thompson

                            Petros is the Greek version of Peter. I'm not sure which person is the subject of the question.
