evidence: On Aug. 1, 2024, posts appeared online claiming that Turkish sport shooter Yusuf Dikec, who became a viral sensation for his performance in the air pistol event at the Paris Olympics, had taken up the sport following an argument with his ex-wife. We found examples of the claim on Facebook and X, and Snopes readers wrote in to ask whether it was true. [...] Dikec Yusuf, who only recently took up shooting after a particularly heated argument with his ex-wife, credits his success to his newfound passion for seeing his kids and a relentless drive to prove his ex wrong. "I never thought I'd be here," Yusuf said, shrugging nonchalantly. "I was just aiming for a weekend with the kids." [...] Meanwhile, some users took the claim even further by spoofing the wording of the "ex-wife" post. One user on X instead joked that Dikec took up shooting because he was frustrated by "seeing really dumb - I mean just blatant lies - go viral on LinkedIn."
