Why not show the gold medalists… Seeing as most never saw them, and they’ve got zero publicity compared to others.

Because the Olympics aren’t good for anything but ruining nations and memes.

Because they’re inferior in the minds of many.

Silver almost best them with no equipment.

Nope, it was Serbia’s Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic.

Damir Mikec’s eye wear looked more like something made from lego technic:

They’re only allowed to use one hand, so the competitors always have their off hand tucked in or hooked onto their clothes so that arm can be relaxed and ignored.

Got it, I’m honestly just riffing off another comment I saw a day ago that mentioned his hand in his pocket, I didn’t know they all did it. 🤣

I think that’s just how the shooting stance works. Hooking your hand in your pocket prevents it from moving and messing with your aim.
