Yusuf Dikec had no need for your fancy protective gear. He did not need your visors, nor your glasses. At 51, he was content to walk onto the biggest stage of his career dressed like a middle-aged parent waiting by the curb at school pick-up.

And for that, he now has a silver medal and internet fame from the 2024 Olympics.

Dikec, from Mersin, Turkey, was among competitors decked out in all manners of equipment. Some wore large ear protection, and some wore specialized lenses for shooting. He appeared to be wearing a casual jersey, slacks and the small protective earplugs you can buy at a local Home Depot.
