Huh? That guy is cool because of his lore and his attitude. We don't care if he is male, female an alien or whatever. We don't care if he won a medal, a diploma or a 5$ discount on a supermarket.
He is relevant because this guy went shooting into an olimpic event with a normal guy vibe wearing his prescription glasses and one hand in the pocket, while other olimpic teams wear all kind of complex sighting aparatus for this events. Plus his story lore of how he became olimpic shooter is hilarious.
His teamate could be Erdogan, Beyonce, Taylor Swift. NOT RELEVANT.
So what? He has a female in his team? Okay.
I thought it was just his normal guy vibe without the shooting glasses. Pretty sure the hand in the pocket is common and I haven't heard anything about a hilarious back story.
First I read about it from a comment was that he was trying to prove his Ex-Wife wrong that he can make something of himself. But it didn't mention is that he joined the Gendarmerie of Turkey, which is a police type force in rural areas and other places in the country.
I don't want to lower his achievements but he's just a cop who obviously did well in his shooting practice and turned that into a silver medal. He isn't a hitman like the memes are saying.
Pretty sure that ex wife thing is just a meme. He's got competition results dating back more than 20 years from a look at his wikipedia page
This man showed up to compete in the Olympics after his son was assaulted by a wild pack of turkish trans furry democrats. His Turkish sons last words were"Baba, şimdi dinlenmem gerek. Bu trans demokrat kürklerin bugün kazandı ama sen benim ölümümü intikamını almak için Olimpiyatlarda kazanacaksın, baba. Bana ya özgürlük ver ya da ölüm." -New York Post
