Shooter Yusuf Dikec (Türkiye) caused a stir when he won the Olympic silver medal in shooting, even though he didn't need a scope or protective gear when competing.
Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec is causing a stir on social media after winning the silver medal in the 10m mixed air pistol event at the Paris Olympics with his teammate Sevval Ilayda Tarhan. What is noteworthy is not his age (Dikec is 51 years old), but Dikec is causing a stir because he did not need a sight or protective gear when competing. The Turkish shooter only used regular glasses and earplugs, still defeating many opponents on the way to the medal, only stopping before the Serbian shooter duo with a close score of 14-16.

The image of Dikec leisurely holding a gun in one hand and putting the other in his pocket to perform the competition has excited many fans. The 51-year-old shooter has a simple style and is in contrast to the rest of the world's shooting, in a context where most athletes are equipped "to the teeth" with modern equipment. "The Turkish shooting team sent an uncle to the Olympics, without protective gear, he can still win a silver medal," commented an account on social network X. Yusuf Dikec's demeanor is especially interesting, when he performs the competition series calmly, neatly and extremely accurately. Besides "uncle" Dikec, another shooter is also causing a stir, that is shooter Kim Ye-ji. The Korean athlete won a silver medal in the women's 10m air pistol event (Trinh Thu Vinh also participated and finished fourth), after losing to junior shooter Oh Ye-jin.

However, Kim Ye-ji's cool and decisive demeanor conquered everyone. The Korean female shooter has "cold" eyes and surprisingly calm demeanor. She even aimed with one hand and held a stuffed elephant in the other. It was a gift from Kim Ye-jin's daughter. This female shooter always carries it with her like a talisman. At the 2023 World Shooting Championship in Azerbaijan, Kim Ye-ji won gold medal, breaking the world record in the women's 25m air pistol event, but still maintained her composure. "Kim Ye-jin should act in action movies," billionaire Elon Musk shared on X . Many people also think that the Korean female shooter is suitable for acting, because she has the attractive and strong demeanor of a true shooter. After winning silver medal in the women's 10m air pistol event, Kim Ye-jin will compete in the women's 25m air pistol event, which is her forte. The Korean shooter's captivating charisma will continue to dominate social media in the coming days.
