Even 51, Achieve GLORY - Paris Olypmic 2024 Highlights

 

A 51-year-old Turkish shooter has gone viral on social media after a photo of him competing in the 10m air pistol mixed team event final with limited gear was shared widely. Yusuf Dikec, unlike many other professional shooters, was wearing only his glasses and had his hand in his pocket as he shot silver.

In shooting events, the shooters wear a lot of gear, including specialised glasses for better precision and avoid any kind of blurring and ear-protectors for noise cancellation. However, a Turkish air pistol shooter, Yusuf Dikec, flaunted his aura as he went on to win a silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games. Shooting fans on social media went berserk and the 51-year-old year old was viral all over the internet. Dikec, alongside his partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, took second place in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. Although Dikec brought limited gear to the competition, that would not stop him from Olympic glory.
