Yusuf’s Incredible Silver Win:
Yusuf Dikec, along with his partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, won silver in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. Despite bringing minimal gear, Dikec showcased his skill and determination to achieve Olympic success. The Turkish shooter impressed many with his unconventional approach.
