Turkish sharpshooter Yusuf Dikec won the silver medal in the air pistol team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics without using any special equipment. He shot with one hand in his pocket, wearing only small yellow earplugs and regular glasses. His partner, Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, also did not use any specialized gear. This win marked Turkey’s first medal in Olympic shooting events. Fans praised Dikec for his laid-back approach and celebrated him for his casual demeanor. In contrast, South Korea’s Kim Ye-ji, who wore futuristic lenses and a blinder, went viral for her cool and effortless demeanor during the women’s 10-meter air pistol event. Fans dubbed her the “James Bond of the Olympics.” Dikec’s win and relaxed attitude resonated with fans, with many applauding his natural talent and ability to succeed without relying on high-tech gear. This achievement not only made history for Turkey but also earned Dikec a place in internet fandom for his unique approach to competition.
