Most Olympic athletes are young and wear fashion athletic clothes donated by endorsers who help pay them. In addition in the shooting category you’re (as I understand it) allowed a certain amount of tech to help you out. This man is older, didn’t wear the endorsed fashion clothes or the tech and won gold silver so he feels like a rare “every man” win in the Olympics. He is not an “every man” (believe he’s a decorated military and police man in his country), but a lot more people can relate to him winning gold silver than a 14 year old who’s been training for this since diapers in a fashion house outfit.
Can anyone explain to me why this guy became a meme? I’m out of the loop
Most competitive shooters are using special equipment and he looks comparatively very casual.

Oof I feel bad for his partner had no idea he was in pairs from the way he’s been talked/meme’d about…
He got silvers because of his teammate.
That’s still silver.
He went pow pow at the Olympics
Those little guns go pew pew.
