Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç has become a viral sensation after winning a silver medal in the Mixed 50m Pistol event at the Paris Olympics. The 51-year-old captured attention at the Chatearoux Shooting Complex due to his unconventional approach. Unlike other shooters who use ear protectors and precision lenses, Dikeç arrived without these accessories, making waves on social media for his laid-back attitude.
