Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who won silver in the mixed team 10-metre air pistol event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has gone viral on social media.
Known for his relaxed style during the competition, Dikec’s minimalist approach contrasted sharply with his competitors' high-tech gear.
After joining X (formerly Twitter), he posted a playful question to Elon Musk, asking if future robots could win Olympic medals with their hands in their pockets. Musk responded humorously, saying robots would "hit the center of the bullseye every time."
Dikec's casual demeanor has drawn comparisons to James Bond, while his partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan also gained attention.
