The Olympics has enabled two unlikely stars to enter the limelight. Could they be making their sport cool?
Every four years, the world collectively rallies around their respective TVs or computer screens to watch the fun unfold at the Olympics. And what a hoot it is! Unlike the World Cup or Six Nations, no prior knowledge of any of the sports is required to ensure an enjoyable watch. In fact, it’s often the case that the less you know, the better. This year, it seems that those who aren’t familiar with the fine details of Olympics shooting have all become fascinated with the sport.
While Yeji gracefully moved through the process as if it was a choreographed dance, Dikec seems as blasé as ever. Dressed in his country’s team kit and with his hand in his pocket, Dikec shoots without any of the aiding apparatus we’ve got used to seeing . He doesn’t have noise-cancelling earmuffs, no tinted lens to avoid a reflective glare. He doesn’t even have any eye cover.
