The eyes of the world are glued to their TV sets, no one wants to miss a single sport that is being played in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The matches are exciting, and the perseverance of athletes is awe-inspiring. With the whole world watching, a few athletes are catching more attention than the others. This time the internet can’t keep calm after watching a 51-year-old shooter who bagged a silver medal in the mixed team 10-meter air pistol shooting. Yusuf Dikec, a Turkish shooter, has gone viral for his casual stance while he shot his way through a silver medal. The viral photo shows Dikec wearing his own standard glasses in place of a shooting lens and one hand in his pocket, aiming to take his shot. His stance is so unfazed that the internet can’t decide if he seems more like a regular guy or a hitman. Shooters often wear earplugs to minimize distractions and also use lenses to reduce glare and improve focus. Dikec’s technique is unique since he shoots with both eyes open, whereas shooters usually keep one eye close to increase focus. The event took place in Chateauroux, central France.

  1. Dear ET – the country's name is Türkiye now, not Turkey. It changed a couple of years ago. Blatantly using the old name is at best ignorant and at worst a sign of disrespect.

  2. 2:45 aah Indian media. you never leave a chance to be a dumb@$$. we know he was wearing those yellow earplugs and those pictures were all among the ones went viral.

  3. Agent: Mr Yusuf ' I'm agent M, you have one last job.
    Yusuf: I'm retired. I'm not doing anything for you guys.
    Agent: Then do it for your country.
    Yusuf: Really What's target?
    Agent: Gold but sticks to silver or People will become suspicious.

  4. He brought something very authentic & genuine to the games. That’s a cross-cultural, crowd pleaser. This also applies to Zhou Yaqin…I’ll be looking for both in the 2028 Olympics. 🎉🎉

  5. Its hilarious! Why is the US not winning gold with the obsessions with guns here? Oh, I know! Because those guns don't have any bullets. It takes any incentive away.

  6. I remember watching him in action. You can tell that he has stellar focus because when he locked onto his target, he did not blink for 10 seconds straight. What a chad!
