Turkish pistol shooter, Yusuf Dikec, has become an overnight social media sensation for his seemingly casual and laid-back demeanour during his recent silver medal-winning performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics .
Photos of Dikec competing with one hand in his pocket, wearing a simple T-shirt and everyday glasses, have gone viral, prompting comparisons to a regular person at the Olympics or even a hitman.
Despite his low-key appearance, the 51-year-old is a veteran Olympian, having competed since 2008.
Dikec, alongside Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, won the silver medal in the mixed team 10-meter air pistol event, marking Turkey's first-ever Olympic medal in shooting.
The gold medal went to Serbia's Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic, while India's Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh took bronze.
