Turkish shooter at Olympics breaks his silence after going viral

Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who has taken the Olympic Games by storm, has broken his silence after going viral on the internet.

The 51-year-old and his partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan claimed the silver medal in the 10-metre air pistol mixed team event in Paris on Wednesday, but it was Dikec's unconventional approach to the competition that has seen his image go viral.

Dikec shot to fame after a photo was shared to social media of him competing in a uncharacteristically relaxed manner without the typical shooting gear - and one hand in his pocket.
