TURKEY star Yusuf Dikec turned into a social media sensation after a stunning performance at Paris Olympics 2024.
Dikec, 51, competed in the 10m air pistol mixed event with compatriot Sevval Ilayda Tarhan and together they won a silver medal.

According to the fans, however, the Turkish duo won all the gold thanks to Dikec’s casual attire and stone cold demeanor every time he picked up a pistol.
The Olympian’s opponents took to the stage with specialised lenses, eye covers and ear protection to guard their vision and hearing.
But not Dikec, all he needed was a pair of prescription glasses along with a cosy white T-shirt and a pair of track bottoms.
The Turkish star then grabbed the pistol with his right hand, looked at the target with both eyes open and had his left hand in his pocket.
Fans watching the Paris 2024 action couldn’t believe what they were seeing as they quickly found a new Olympic hero.
One shooting enthusiast tweeted: “Turkey sent a 51 yr old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal.”
Another commented: “Dude looks like he just decided to join the Olympics when he woke up this morning.”
A third posted: “Looks like he was taking a walk around the park then decided to drop by for the Olympics.”
This fan said: “With one hand in his pocket and both eyes open, he’d have to be a trained military man to be able to pull the gig.”
And that one stated: “Looked like they begged him to be there and he said, “Fine but I’m only doing it for silver because it’s my favorite color”.”
Dikec and Tarhan bested India’s Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh who came third.
But the Turkish duo couldn’t overcome Serbian gold medallists Zorana Arunovic and Damir Mikec.
