However, after running a Google Reverse Image search, we found the photo was altered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is about our investigation of this claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the image\u2019s extensive dissemination and the considerable attention it has received from the internet community, we believed it was necessary to perform a fact-check on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Crescendo has started debunking the above claim and verifying it through reliable sources. The same above images have been seen and published on many news websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To determine if it\u2019s real or Photoshopped, one would need to analyze the image for signs of digital manipulation. However, given the context of recent viral moments, it\u2019s possible that the photo is a carefully staged and artistic representation rather than an actual sports moment. The key is to look at the consistency of lighting, shadows, and the overall coherence of the image to assess its authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video showing a Thai comedy, Pongsuwan, shooting backwards in one of the Thai TV shows has been seen and posted on the X<\/a> platform recently. It was clarified that the viral image of the Olympic shooter is actually photoshopped. It was taken from the above show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following video was captured from X\u2019s user and showed a man shooting backwards; it is not real nor from the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
