I mean the one guy took gold so its not a fraction but surpassed it. Im not sure this meme works for this situation.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe Dikeç actually scored the highest.

It was a team event though

I can't remember the exact number but it was like:

1- Dikeç

2- Mikec (The Serbian guy)

3- Arunovic (the Serbian lady)

4- Tarhan (The turkish lady)

But the points are totaled so I guess the Serbians scored higher combined

I honestly only know what people have posted as I only caught some fencing highlights so far. Its likely a simplistic interpretation. I had just heard the korean guy was gold and dikec was silver but no one said it was a team event.

The Korean guy pictured is using an air rifle, a different category than the Turkish guy using an air pistol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

thats the first I have seen of the rifle guy. usually its the korean pistal wielder pictured to the right of him in this meme with the turkish guy

The Serbians actually won gold not the Koreans

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

is there no individual event then and did the serbians have all that stuff?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

No I'm talking about the event Dikeç participated in specifically

I believe the Serbs did indeed have the cool gear, not as cool as the Koreans though from the photos I've seen

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

you know I watched some clips that first weekend and now im kicking myself as I should have caught up this last weekend as I watched plenty of anime. will need to see what I can of shooting and such now that events have actually happened.

the other character should be the lady YANG Jiin from Korea who won gold yesterday

[–] demizerone 32 points 1 month ago (7 children)

America didn't even place bcz they ain't shooting real guns. Those pistols are a BBQ gun that has a fraction of the recoil. We would place first if they were AR-15s and human shaped targets.

[–] emmy67 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just simulate a school and you'd place first

[–] Aceticon 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, that really depends if the person competing in that has a cop mindset or a shotter mindset: the ones with a cop mindset would not even enter the competition area if it was a school simulation.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Maybe they could just paint all the targets black.

Can't spell brisket without risk.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Only if you got 10 points for the ear

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Human shaped targets with non-white skin color.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Doesnt even need to be a rifle, just an actual gun. Make it anything made by Colt or Winchester and our folks'll show em why we made them Germans bitch about pur guns.

Keep making excuses.

I can already see redditors editing this mf into the meme heaven pic next to harambe the very second he croaks

[–] kerrigan778 6 points 1 month ago

That's a weird/morbid take, he seems like a healthy man barely past 50. He could easily be around another 20-45 years geez.

[–] TrickDacy 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I keep seeing these photos but I have no idea why. Something about the Olympics shooting competition but otherwise I'm clueless

[–] Eylrid 64 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Most of the Olympic shooters use fancy gear like special eyepieces and what not. This guy Yusef Dikec from Turkiye rolled up without all that, stuck one hand in his pocket, shot with both eyes open and took silver along with his partner Sevval Tarhan.

[–] VelvetStorm 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The woman in this picture also has a hand in her pocket as do most other people. Idkw he is getting so much credit for that when almost everyone does that.

I believe it's called swag

[–] Linnce 17 points 1 month ago

They look like jojo characters

[–] Etterra 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What the hell is that shooting posture the guy in the top left is using?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They have hard jackets to be able to pose like that (only for rifles, not allowed for pistols)

Edit: link from 3yrs ago

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's basically emulating Widowmaker.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure there's at least one Jojo pose that looks like that

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the korean woman is literally doing a wr

[–] DarkCloud 14 points 1 month ago

I've only seen one picture of the guy who actually won Gold, because the internet decided all these other people were all more meme-able.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya 12 points 1 month ago

He's going to be the stuff of TodayILearned contents for many generations to come.
