    Turkish pistol shooter Yusuf Dikec is officially an Olympic icon. His one-arm shooting stance is taking over the world stage.

    To be an Olympic pistol shooter, you obviously need to be excellent at what you do. But, if you’re Yusuf Dikec, you’re so good that you don’t even need protective equipment.

    That’s right. Yusuf didn’t use anything en route to a silver medal — just his glasses, a hand in his pocket and a whole lot of guts. Of course, people went wild over his performance — creating a ton of memes — because what kind of stone-cold human being do you have to be to pull THIS off?

    Eventually, another Olympian, pole vaunter Mondo Duplantis, learned about the pistol shooter so many were talking about and paid tribute to Dikec after setting a world record.

    But, at this point, the celebration has surpassed Yusuf and Mondo. It’s officially a thing, and it’s oozing into so many Olympic sports.

    Naturally, Yusuf totally downplayed his celebration with an incredible one-liner. What a guy.
