If you want to win a medal in pistol shooting, you will very likely come well-equipped - but not Yusuf Dikeç.

The 51-year-old Turkish shooter won a silver medal looking like any average joe.

Dikeç finished in second in the 10m mixed air pistol competition, and it was his nonchalant style that took the world by storm. Warren Sharp wrote on X that Dikeç had "insane aura," while Lolo Jones jokingly asked on social media if Dikeç is "in the next John Wick movie."

Dikeç was severely underdressed compared to his counterparts, who wore extra lenses and equipment to avoid blur, outside noise and have better precision.

But not the "legend" in Dikeç.
