At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the image of a Turkish shooter with a simple style left a deep impression on many people. Dikec's competition without any supporting equipment and "special charisma" made waves on social networks.
During the competition, Dikec wore only a white T-shirt, sweatpants , and gold earplugs. He held a gun in one hand and put the other in his pocket. The 52-year-old appeared calm and unflinching.
The admiration comes not only from the style of competition, but also from the results that this man in his 50s has achieved. At the Olympics in France, Dikec won a silver medal in the 10m mixed pistol event.
His silver medal marked Türkiye's first Olympic medal in shooting, and made him the oldest Olympic medalist in the country's history.
In early October 2025, Yusuf Dikec led the Turkish national team to a 2-0 victory over Germany. Türkiye won the gold medal in the 10m air pistol team event at the European Champions League of Air Weapons.
More than a year after the 2024 Paris Olympics, Dikec still competes with his familiar style, capturing the hearts of fans.
Speaking after winning the championship, Dikec shared: "It is an honor to represent my homeland in front of the home crowd. This is the first time a tournament has been held in Istanbul."
The 52-year-old said winning the gold medal was very special and also great preparation for the World Championships in Cairo in November.
