Olympic target shooting historically doesn’t get much attention at most Summer Games — until pistol marksman Yusuf Dikeç and his “insane aura” came along.
The Turkish athlete went viral after winning silver in the team competition — with one hand in his pocket and what appeared to be a pair of reading glasses, as opposed to his competitors who sport cyborg-like specs and other specialty equipment. He insisted he didn’t need all the fancy gear to bring home some hardware.
“I did not need special equipment. I’m a natural, a natural shooter,” Dikec told Turkish media.
