I keep seeing him but can't figure out his role in the memes. Is it random like the orb thing?

During the Tokyo games in 2021, an image of the 2016 Rio games gold medal winner was posted on Twitter (erroneously being labelled as being from the Tokyo games), and she became a meme for women not knowing how to shoot because of her casual stance, and the subsequent meme for armchair experts trying to mansplain shooting to a gold medalist. At the time, it was a popular meme.
