evidence: Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec, who won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 in the 10m air pistol competition, became a viral sensation for his "gearless" look. Several posts about his casual look, without wearing any protective earplugs or lenses went viral on social media. Now, the Olympian has spoken about his unique pose and said that he is a "natural shooter" and never needed special equipment. [...] Notably, Mr Dikec is a four-time Olympian, having competed in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020. The 51-year-old began shooting competitively in 2001, following his employment with the Gendarmerie General Command as a non-commissioned officer. [...] The Olympian mentioned that his victory in the Paris Games will inspire the next generations. When donning the national team shirt, a player should be mindful of his attitude, behaviour, and way of life, he said, adding, "Yusuf Dikec is just a name and a symbol. I am very happy to be spoken about as a Turkish athlete, not as Yusuf Dikec."
