Yusuf Dikech entered the competition without his usual equipment and did not even take his hands out of his pockets. There were claims on the internet that he was a murderer, but the truth turned out to be completely different.
Turkish Olympic shooter Yusuf Dikech became popular on social networks due to his outstanding performance in the competition. Details were shared on Turkiye Today on August 1.
On July 31, Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikech competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. He won a silver medal in the 10m air pistol event and was remembered for his incredible composure.
This Olympic performance not only earned Turkey its first medal in shooting, but also caught the attention of sports fans around the world. Not only did Dikech come to the competition without special earplugs and glasses, he kept his hands in his pockets and looked surprisingly calm. His relaxed demeanor did not go unnoticed.
The media reported that Dikech was 51 years old and an experienced marksman. The man was previously a non-commissioned officer in the Turkish gendarmerie but is now retired. He represented Turkey twice at the Olympic Games in 2012 and 2016. He won medals at the World and European Championships as well as the Mediterranean Games.
Even American billionaire Elon Musk commented on the Turkish hitman’s speech that created a sensation on the internet.
“Beautiful,” he wrote.
On social networks it was noted that Dikech’s rivals were fully equipped, but the lack of special headphones and glasses did not prevent the Turkish representative from winning the prize. Users even jokingly suggested that Turkey had sent a killer to the competition. For some fans, the unusual performance at the Olympics inspired creativity.
Let us remind you that Ukrainian Sergei Kulish won the silver medal in three-position shooting at 50 meters with a small-caliber rifle. He was only two points ahead of his rival from China.
A woman brought her grandmother’s medal, which had been sitting in a box of cheap trinkets for a long time, to be evaluated. It turned out to be a unique gold medal from the 1924 Paris Olympics.
