News summary

Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç gained viral fame at the 2024 Paris Olympics after winning a silver medal in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event, competing with minimal gear—only regular glasses and earplugs—while keeping one hand in his pocket. This unconventional approach contrasted sharply with his opponents, who were equipped with specialized shooting gear, capturing the attention of social media users and sparking a meme phenomenon. Dikeç and teammate Sevval Ilayda Tarhan narrowly lost the gold to Serbia's Zorana Arunović and Damir Mikec, who staged a remarkable comeback in the final match. At 51, Dikeç marked his fifth Olympic appearance and achieved his first-ever medal, with his casual demeanor winning admiration and comparisons to a 'professional hitman'. His performance not only showcased skill but also highlighted that success can be achieved without the latest technology. This historic achievement also marks Turkey's first Olympic medal in shooting, further adding to the significance of Dikeç's accomplishment.
