There have been many memes comparing these two athletes recently (Even I posted one yesterday with a different context). However, I want to clarify something. It's not right to compare them or to celebrate someone just because someone used less or no gear. IMO, The Turkish shooter might have won gold if he had trained with the proper gears. Sports gadgets and equipments, developed through years of research and testing, have repeatedly proven their ability to enhance performance. For instance, in this year’s ITT (Individual Time Trial) cycling event, Wout van Aert secured a bronze medal by less than 2 seconds, just because he rode with an advanced double disc-setup wheels (he acknowledged this advantage in post race interview). When athletes are evenly matched, advanced equipment can provide a critical advantage. By the way, the person in the first image won gold and broke the world record in 25m pistol women’s event 😀 #Olympia2024 #shooters #WORLDRECORD #Paris2024
