It makes all the sense in the world that the hype around a man ‘too cool to handle’ went out of hand real quick- if only the internet knew what was coming out of the 10-metre Air Pistol Shooting competition at the Paris Olympics 2024! For those somehow still unaware, the internet can’t stop mooning over a 51-year-old Turkish Olympian, Yusuf Dikec, who completely stole the show all on the basis of how ‘cool’ he was for anyone and everyone to handle. Or at least so it seemed after Dikec turned into a meme material as the internet couldn't get enough of him. For those unaware, Dikec gained millions of fans after he won the silver medal at the mixed team 10-metre air pistol event while using minimum gear. In fact, the only things he had in the name of gear were his pistol, his ear plugs, and his prescribed glasses.

With one hand in his pocket and another aiming at the target, the man made history for his country as he won a medal for Turkey in shooting. What was further savage was that he aimed for the target while opening both his eyes, which was something that seemingly no other athlete did during the competition. In fact, the other athletes had their gears on hand while shooting. If you already haven’t guessed it, yes, the entire thing was more than enough to impress viewers all over the world, which is what happened. People simply couldn't stop lauding his aura.

From calling him an Army spy to comparing him with cool anime and movie characters, people went all out with their creative imagination. The event was part of the Paris Olympics, which began on July 26 and will culminate on August 11. Dikec was not the only one who made his country proud, as his partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan was also in the team.

Apart from Dikec, South Korea’s Kim Yeji also became the ‘coolest’ Olympian, as her calm demeanour after making a record was too cold and too cool. She also won a silver at the game.

Coming back to Dikec, taking to social media, people shared their take on him.

“Turkey sent a 51 yr old guy with no specialised lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal,” a user said.

“I think I’m gonna have to take a closer look at the Olympic Pistol competition. First we got South Korean Kim Yeji. Who’s a total badass. Then comes Turkish competitor Yusuf Dikeç. Who casually goes out and wins the Silver with one hand in his pocket!” added a second person.

“Who casually goes out and wins the Silver with one hand in his pocket! Yusuf Dikeç was a gendarmerie officer in the Turkish army,” added a third person.

“Did Turkey send a hitman to the Olympics?” added a fourth person.

“If ‘no f***s given’ had a face. (Türkiye shooter Yusuf Dikec’s nonchalant zero-gear, zero-equipment look while winning Silver at the #ParisOlympics),” added a fifth person.

“I know everyone is loving the South Korean pistol shooter in the Olympics with robocop vibes. I present to you the Turkish pistol shooter. 51 years old. Flip flops, hands in pocket. He would’ve lit a cigarette if he could. My vibe. (He got btw),” added another.
