    We should make some “cash-lympics” where some random people from every nation within the desired age are invited for free to just compete, with no training whatsoever. It would certainly be as fun/exciting as watching this dude

        Huh, I thought that that looked exactly like a Takeshi's Castle obstacle, and sure enough the whole thing with MXC is that they repurposed Takeshi's Castle footage to make a new show? Wild

    His name is Yusuf Dikeç, he was in the 10m air pistol men and mixed team events. The silver was in the mixed team event, won alongside teammate Şevval İlayda Tarhan. Despite what appears to be an exceptionally successful sport shooting career otherwise, he seems to have struggled in prior Olympic games ("struggled" relative to "qualified for the goddamn Olympics" of course) but apparently he was just on the ball this time

    Isn’t aiming with both eyes open the way to do it? I learned to do that in the military to keep your situational awareness and never stopped. Also, it works really well with a holographic sight, like you’ve got the red dot / reticule floating on the target.

    source
    • setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Both eyes open is great for the real world. Olympic target shooting is a very different animal. Don’t think of it like normal shooting. Situational awareness is not a factor. Unlike practical shooting, tunnel vision is desired. Most shooters wear covers to obscure the off side eye. They are focusing on absolutely lining up the physical sights, no optics in Olympic pistol shooting.

      Yeah the hand in pocket is pretty common in Olympic shooting. Unfortunate that it got pointed out as it undercuts the rest of the valid unusualness of the setup.

        Your eye is still open under that flap though, no? I dabbled in Olympic pistol shooting back when I was doing across-the-course service rifle, and I was told to always keep both eyes open by the dude teaching me. Same for service rifle (and later palma). I always found that closing one of your eyes fucks up your focusing. If you don't have the little flappy dealy, you just do your best to defocus/deprioritize the view out of your non-dominant eye. I actually went for quite a while without any sort of cover because it helped me avoid cross firing (which is probably more of an issue with across-the-course than with Olympic pistol).

        You're absolutely right about the lack of spectacles though. This guy is one hell of a marksman.

        Yeah, every time someone mentions the hand-in-pocket thing it’s “ah, you don’t know what this event is”. Same with that one about holding the gun with both hands.

    Both eyes open can be better for your aim if you can resolve both images of the sights and place the target exactly between the images. Takes practice but seems to have a higher skill ceiling

        FWIW your link worked just fine. Also disallowing hotlinking is the decision of the web server hosting the image, not Lemmy.
