– The shooting sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics has produced some viral moments and meme-worthy athletes due to their cool and composed demeanors.
– South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji won silver in air pistol and her unique style with a stuffed animal, tracksuit and glasses made her dubbed “the coolest person on the planet” on social media.
– Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec also went viral for competing in just basic eyeglasses and appearing impassive, with people joking he looked like a “hitman” or “regular guy”.
– Shooting requires significant technical gear but Dikec was only missing yellow earplugs from the angles seen in photos shared online.
– Both Kim and Dikec’s nonchalant performances under pressure have sparked memes and comparisons to other shooters who wear more equipment.
