Friday off topic. The Olympics has its heroes
Love this guy. Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec has become an overnight internet sensation following his silver medal win at the Paris Olympics. In the air pistol mixed team competition, Dikec amazed everyone by competing with everyday glasses and one hand in his pocket, eschewing specialized equipment. His unique approach and confident demeanor, especially at the age of 51, have sparked widespread admiration and a social media meme fest.

Secondly, it's not as if the guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took the silver, he's got extensive background professionally and a rich portfolio of achievements in this sport.
Sure, he didn't use special glasses and stuff, many others don't, either.
Sorry to bust the myth but I've gotta call internet sensationalism.
