Yusuf Dikec has made the word "swag" famous in a new way. Anand Mahindra, a well-known industrialist, praised Dikec for his cool style after he won a silver medal in the Mixed 10m Air Pistol event at the Paris Olympics 2024. Dikec, 51, became famous online for his unique shooting style, where he shoots with one hand in his pocket.

Mahindra shared a popular picture of Dikec on social media, calling it "SWAG" and saying Dikec showed everyone what swag really means.

Dikec's relaxed but accurate performance, using only glasses and earplugs, impressed many. Even without fancy gear, he and his teammate won the silver medal. Since then, social media has been full of memes and praise for his confidence and skill.

This was Dikec's first Olympic medal after competing in five Olympics since his first in Beijing 2008. Born on January 1, 1973, in Turkey, Dikec has a strong background in shooting and education, showing his dedication to the sport.
