Background
Our big man Wolé was born in Nigeria, but moved to England when he was just five years old.
For the past eight years he's been the pride of the London Fire Service and he simply loves his work.
The natural gift that I would love to possess is the ability to play a musical instrument.
WOLÉ
At 27, Wolé is the eldest of the athletes and has a sporting repertoire to go with his powerful physique.
Boxing, swimming, football, kickboxing, marathon-running and power lifting all help to keep his body tuned to perfection.
His top secret training regime (essentially an awful lot of hours in the gym) allows him to constantly look for new ways of challenging himself mentally and physically.
But somehow it's never quite good enough, and Wolé is always searching for that 'something more'.
