Yusuf Dikec, a Turkish shooter, has gone viral for his casual stance while he shot his way through a silver medal. The viral photo shows Dikec wearing his own standard glasses in place of a shooting lens and one hand in his pocket, aiming to take his shot. His stance is so unfazed that the internet can’t decide if he seems more like a regular guy or a hitman. Shooters often wear earplugs to minimize distractions and also use lenses to reduce glare and improve focus. Dikec's technique is unique since he shoots with both eyes open, whereas shooters usually keep one eye close to increase focus.
