Novák and Pulai were known as "The Monster and the Little Guy" because Pulai was 1.99 meters (6 ft. 6.25 in.) tall and weighed 97 kg (214 lbs) while Novák was 1.72 meters (5 ft. 8 in.) and weighed 77 kg (170 lbs). Pulai taped Novák's leg to the boat so that his partner would not fall to the high winds that took place on the day of the final.
