Yusuf Dikeç is widely recognized for his nonchalant competitive style -> shooting with one hand in his pocket and using minimal specialized gear, such as standard prescription glasses and simple earplugs, while his competitors wore high-tech visors and blinders;
at 51 years and 212 days old he became Turkey’s oldest Olympic medalist;
he is a retired non-commissioned officer of the Turkish Gendarmerie and began sport shooting in 2001;

I hope someone is paying attention and casts him as the next 007 or at the very least gives him a different 00# and a few minutes of screen time.

For all the hype this guy rightfully gets/got…
This question is for target enthusiasts I guess…
Is what he does repeatable for someone else? Is this just 10,000 hours of practice or is playing a different sport the everyone else because of his – fill in the blank – skill level, eye sight, breathing ability?

I’m just glad he wasn’t born 200 years ago while my country was liberating from Ottoman Empire. We would still be occupied if he did 😂

What’s all the hype about his hand in his pocket?
That’s simply the regular way to shoot a pistol the olympic way in order to make sure your shoulder muscles are relaxed and not tensioned up during aiming so you won’t release the muscle tension during the actual shot what would then result in inaccuracy. He’s an extraordinary shooter nevertheless and I really love him for not using all the fancy gear like the others do 💪🏻
