Paris Olympics: Shooter Used Mirror To Hit Target? After Dikec, Mirror Shooter Goes Viral!

In the aftermath of Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec's unexpected rise to internet fame for his relaxed style at the Paris Olympics 2024, another striking image emerged online, quickly captivating social media users.

The photograph, which seemingly depicted a man aiming at a target behind him while looking into a mirror, was lauded as a display of extraordinary skill.

Many quickly dubbed the unidentified shooter as a "new legend" and speculated about his participation in the ongoing Olympics.

However, the excitement was short-lived as investigations revealed the viral photograph to be a clever fabrication.

The image, which was circulating with claims of being from the Paris Olympics, was actually a product of Photoshop.

The man in the picture is not an Olympic marksman but rather Pongsak Pongsuwan, a well-known actor and comedian from Thailand.

The image was a still from the popular Thai game show "Ching Roi Ching Lan," where Pongsuwan had performed a comedic skit.

The background of the Paris Olympics was added to the image, misleading many into believing it was a real event.

Dramatic Attack On Russia's Kuzmino-gat Factory: 27 Drones Downed, But Did Ukraine Hit Its Target? [Video]

Dramatic Attack On Russia's Kuzmino-gat Factory: 27 Drones Downed, But Did Ukraine Hit Its Target?

In a daring escalation of its drone campaign, Ukraine launched a strike on the Kuzmino-Gat gunpowder factory in Tambov Oblast, a critical node in Russia's military-industrial complex. Russian authorities claimed their defenses intercepted 27 drones across multiple regions, but questions linger about the effectiveness of the attack. Eyewitnesses in Kotovsk reported hearing drones overhead before the strike, with Ukrainian officials identifying the facility as a key producer of gunpowder for weapons and explosives. While Russia reported no casualties and only minor damage to a nearby house, the attack has raised concerns about vulnerabilities deep within its territory. #RussiaUkraineWar #DroneStrike #KuzminoGatFactory #UkraineOffensive #MilitaryConflict #RussiaUnderAttack #DroneWarfare #TambovOblast #UkraineStrikesBack #WarInUkraine #KuzminoGat #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #RussiaUkraineConflict #AerialWarfare #BreakingNews Also Read Explained | Declining Support For Ukraine In Europe: What’s Behind The Shift? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-declining-support-for-ukraine-in-europe-what-s-behind-the-shift-4027415.html?ref=DMDesc The World Holds Its Breath: What Will Be The Consequences Of Russia's ICBM Attack? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-world-holds-its-breath-what-will-be-the-consequences-of-russias-icbm-attack-3994339.html?ref=DMDesc 1,000th Day Of The Russia-Ukraine War: Putin's New Nuclear Doctrine - A Bold Shift? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/1000th-day-of-the-russia-ukraine-war-putins-new-nuclear-doctrine-a-bold-shift-3991615.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.194~GR.344~
