Turkish air pistol shooter Yusuf Dikec went viral on Wednesday at the Olympics after a picture was shared on social media of him without specialized goggles or ear protection, a commonality among shooting competitors at the Olympics.
Bet Olympics on Bet365In Olympic shooting, shooters use equipment like a lens to avoid blur, a lens for better protection, and ear protectors to reduce noise. However, the 51-year-old was seen wearing regular prescription glasses and earplugs. Dikec and Şevval İlayda Tarhan came in second place behind the Serbian pair of Zorana Arunović and Damir Mikec.
His composure and posture during the shooting were also top-notch, as he won the silver medal with his hand in his pocket while shooting. Dikec's silver medal on Tuesday was his first medal at the Games. The composure has sparked a lot of controversy among lovers of the shooting competition in Paris, especially with his Serbian opponent's wearing an additional lens to prevent blur, a main lens for greater sensitivity, and ear protectors to silence ambient noise.
