Veteran Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec won silver in the mixed 10m Air Pistol event at the Paris Olympics. Dikec, who competed with minimal gear—regular prescription glasses and simple earplugs—paired up with Sevval Ilayda Tarhan. His low-tech look contrasted with other competitors' specialized equipment, sparking a meme fest online. A viral photo showed Dikec aiming with one hand in his pocket, leading to humorous comments on social media. This silver medal is Dikec’s first Olympic medal since his debut in 2008. India's Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh won bronze in the same event.
