PRE-QUESTION NOTE: Today is a Theme Day. Theme days can be overt, or they can be subtle and connected, in such a way that figuring out the theme may help you answer the questions. Good luck.
 

Give the first AND last name of the 35-year-old British cyclist who is considered one of the best sprinters in the history of the sport, and whose 30 Tour de France stage wins are second only to Eddie Merckx for the most ever. (Note: Again, first and last name required here.)

A private social and sports organization located at 20 West St. in lower Manhattan operated from 1926 to 2002, and became known starting in 1935 for bestowing an annual award named after one of the club's founding members. (Today, the award is distributed by a trust.) Give the (three) initials of this (three-word) organization, AND the last name of the founding member.

Give the seven-letter name of the Chicago-area country club that hosted the 2012 Ryder Cup, and where Tiger Woods has won two major championships.

The current Iranian record holder for the 5,000m and 10,000m run—and the gold medal winner of the 3,000m Steeplechase at the 1991 Asian Games—is a man whose last name is Sajjadi. What is his five-letter first name? (Since Iranian track might not be the strongest group subject, an additional clue: His name begins with "H.")

Give the first name most commonly used by the athlete depicted in the figurine below. Among other achievements, this Selma, AL native held the record for most international goals scored by any player, from any country, until 2013.

(Incidentally, the figurine in question is a Matryoshka doll, also known as a nesting doll, which thefreedictionary.com defines as “A set of wooden dolls of different sizes, designed so that each of the smaller dolls can be nested inside the next largest doll.”)
