What's up with the guy in a white t-shirt,(Olympic shooter maybe?) guy being popular in every meme on Lemmy right now? (sh.itjust.works)

I keep seeing him but can't figure out his role in the memes. Is it random like the orb thing?

Remember when the Olympics was about sending ordinary people who were good at a skill to compete, instead of a life-long career pushing body and tech to the edge to see who would win the arms race of a sport?

I don't either, it's been a while. As a 70s kid it was the same as it is now, just less knowledge of how to squeeze everything out of an athlete.

Don't give up hope! We still have a long way to go in terms of optimal athlete squeezing 👍

And best of all, in a ton of countries, once these athletes have competed, they STILL won't make much money to make up for the years of hardcore work to reach this level and make their country proud.
