Nomen Nescio means "I don't know the name" but I do not know if the competitor chose this as the alias he entered under (my name is Nobody), or if there simply was no name and the entry was listed "N.N.". The very far country of Bolivia suggests to me that an important person tried to enter without revealing their name (like the Baron de Coubertin did in 1912), but it is then strange that the name remains unknown.
