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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 3 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just simulate a school and you'd place first

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

Maybe they could just paint all the targets black.

Can't spell brisket without risk.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Only if you got 10 points for the ear

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Human shaped targets with non-white skin color.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months 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.

They look like jojo characters

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

Edit: link from 3yrs ago

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's basically emulating Widowmaker.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

the korean woman is literally doing a wr

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months 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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I believe it's called swag

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wow turkiye I would have assumed he was American considering we are the ones that are all about guns

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Take a look at the "rounds fired" vs "shots hit" and you'll quickly see why "we are the ones all about guns" and not "the ones all about accuracy"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Every pose anime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Best fucking thing I've seen in my whole life 🤣🤣🤣 fucking incredible
