evidence: With his ordinary prescription glasses and laid-back stance, Turkish Olympic shooter and Paris 2024 10m air pistol silver medalist Yusuf Dikeç has shot to viral stardom. Dikec's "gearless" look and casual demeanor has got the world talking. Rumors circulated about the 51-year-old’s backstory, with social media claiming that Dikec turned to shooting after a tumultuous divorce and a career as a mechanic. A Facebook post even suggested he took a jibe at his ex-wife during his medal ceremony. But that's not the story. According to a People report, Dikec began shooting competitively in 2001 after joining the Gendarmerie General Command as a non-commissioned officer. He is a four-time Olympian, having competed in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.
