Important note, he had ear protection. Deeply seated ear plugs (as they should be) visible in photos looking from the side.
The event is air pistols, which are way less loud than bang bangs. So regarding hearing protection, who knows.
who knows
We know. Everyone knows. The ear plugs are visible in many photos/video clips
important: the gold medalist for women's shooting (who is also south korean) looks like she took the shot right before running to class with toast in her mouth

This man is my hero for the day.

Legit, the guy reminds me of my grandfather teaching us punk kids to shoot. Just utterly casual, but with decades of competition and practical shooting experience behind being able to be casual and smooth with whatever gear he had on hand.
We went camping the first time me and my next oldest cousin were expressing an interest. It was air rifles and air pistols that first time. My grandfather sets things up, takes the air pistol, assumes the same stance as this guy on the pic and drops a group so tight it was one small hole. No prep, no thinking, just a lifetime of practice.
I'm all enthusiastic, get my turn, and miss the entire target lol. Not a single pellet hit. But boy, was I imitating my grandfather. I thought so anyway lol.
He's got that casual action movie hero stance.
I like her little elephant plushie
It's an important piece of Olympic sports gear the likes of which peasants cannot comprehend
I believe it's her daughter's!
Aw I nearly missed that, thanks 👍
Turkish guy has 10/10 “dad with niche hobby” vibes lol
I want them to be in a buddy cop movie together. The young tech assassin and old no nonsense cop.
