Prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics, German media took an interest in a Tongan luger training in Germany, who was apparently also called Bruno Banani. In January 2012, it was revealed that his real name was Fuahea Semi, and that his renaming had been a marketing ploy.[4] [5] In 2013, Semi officially changed his name to Bruno Banani, and competed under that name.[6]
