Paris Olympics: How Yusuf Dikec from Turkey shot? The video is viral

Dikec competed in the final without the special lenses used by other shooters. The 51-year-old shot in regular glasses. He didn’t even put on ear protection. People also noted that he looked as if he wasn’t stressed at all, as if he was totally relaxed. As it turned out, he had earplugs in his ears. “Absolute boss,” “the most famous man in the world” – we can read in the comments to the rally on social media.

It is worth adding that Yusuf Dikec also took part in the individual competition during the Olympic Games in Paris, but he did not manage to advance from the qualifications. Dikec has already spawned numerous memes. “South Korea sent a fully dressed competitor to the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent a guy without specialist lenses, covered eyes and ears and won a silver medal” – commented one of the Internet users above the graphics from the game Red Dead Redemption II with Dikec woven into it. This is a clear reference to the old cowboy days, the style straight from a western.
