    IMHO, the rest of them should be shooting that way too. If they have to have all the fancy gadgets to beat him, maybe they should have stayed home. I would like to at least see a class for no gadgets. Just a person and the gun. Maybe a rest for rifles while standing.
    Talking about Dikec from Turkey, he's wearing ear pro; you just can't see the plugs. Of course, he's shooting air pistol so they're optional, anyway.

    As for gadgets, the stuff worn by rifle and pistol shooters at the Olympics is far, far less than they wore decades ago. It's been an interesting progression. Free pistol shooters once wore leather jackets so tight and stiff they couldn't lower their arm. Rifle shooters wore elaborate coats that were definitely a shooting aid. But all those have been made illegal under the rules. The clothes and "gadgets" used today are much less helpful than the stuff from the 1950s and 1960s.

    Every article of clothing is mandated by the rules, all the way down to the stiffness of the soles of their shoes. They even have machines to measure shoe sole stiffness! Basically, the rules say you must wear your team uniform.

    This shooter looked really casual, the embodiment of the everyman, while he was on the line shooting. That made him look approachable and normal, unlike most athletes, so in various ways he's gone viral on social media.

    IMO, the real reason he went viral is because he's complying with the rules to wear the Turkish team uniform.

    And the Turkish team uniform looks like sweats and a t-shirt from Goodwill. :)

    Shooting air pistol (or rifle, Electrician Buddy's son was a collegiate air rifle competitor)...in that crowd?

    Come in #2 in the world?

    Good for him!
