Tarhan and Yusuf Dikec together won the silver medal in shooting for Turkey at the Olympic Games in Paris. But everybody only talks about the man.

minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·2 months ago! Jeez, thanks for sharing that! They won the silver medal together? Even every single explanation here has just been about him. That’s crazy. Thank you again for sharing that, jeez. She should definitely be similarly hoisted atop their shoulders in these memes.
