Olympics 2024: After Turkish Shooter Yusuf Dikec Breaks Internet, Now S. Korea’s ‘Coolest Star Yeji

51-year-old Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec has taken the internet by storm with his silver medal win and laid-back style at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Dikec's nonchalant pose, with one hand in his pocket and minimal gear compared to other competitors, has made him an overnight meme sensation. South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji also turned heads with her cool-as-ice demeanor. Alongside partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, Dikec secured Turkey's first-ever Olympic shooting medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event. Social media can't get enough of Dikec's unbothered vibe, which contrasts with his rivals' high-tech gear. As a 5-time Olympian and retired Turkish Gendarmerie officer, Dikec is no stranger to elite competition. His viral fame has earned him a spot alongside Kim Yeji as an unexpected Olympic icon. Dikec is soaking up the attention, sharing memes about himself, while aiming for gold in LA 2028.

Bro clearly missed the last shot just to not be suspecious

The turkey guy is the first main character. The korean is the cyborg shooter that initially fights against him who then fights alongside back to back and becomes the strongest character in season 2.

Bro intentionally let Gold Medal go. Just not be be too suspicious.

Korean looks like a mid henchman in john wick movie.

Turkish guy looks like he’s an old friend of john.

See the difference?

[hectorcat]

For 24 years, 6 days every week, 4 hours every day. This is his story.

[Victori.A]

He didn't win second himself, he won second with a woman in the mixed team event. He came 13th in the singles 💀💀 so, they're completely excluding the fact that there was also a Turkish woman, AND that it was DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS in order to try and say the man is a better shot.

[hehehehhaww]

what happens if he actually had equipment tho

[jerbaksia]

I love how everyone agrees that bro just purposely got silver to not raise suspicions

[PedroArnaiz]

this guy gave me Arthur Morgan's vibe

[daveyjuice]

What was he aiming at to have broken the router. Blimey.

[Mica-]

The beer should be çay instead
We are black tea addicts after all...🇹🇷

[XFallen]

I'm surprised competitive eating isn't an Olympic sport.
