00:00Whether you take a keen interest in the Olympic Games or not, one thing that is for certain
00:06is that the Games are known for producing heroes and Olympians that will never be forgotten
00:13and this year's edition is no different.
00:16So already on Wednesday produced one Olympian which is pretty much blowing the internet
00:22away and taking the internet by storm.
00:25And of course I'm referring to the Turkish Olympian Yusuf Dikic.
00:31So Yusuf Dikic is an Olympian who took part in the shooting competition on Wednesday and
00:39has instantly become a viral internet sensation for the calm demeanor and manner in which
00:47he actually took part in the event.
00:50And this is something that social media has picked up on and has made the world take notice
00:57with some memes even poking fun and suggesting that Turkey sent a hitman to the Olympics
01:04which is obviously not the case but with his stone cold appearance and the way that he
01:12approached the Games, one wouldn't be surprised for making that mistake and thinking that.
01:18So who is Yusuf Dikic?
01:19I think that's been the question that's really been asked a lot and where did he come from?
01:26So while this may not actually have been known to many people, he has actually participated
01:32in the Olympic Games before.
01:35So he's not new to the whole scene but what's made everyone sit up and take notice of him
01:43this time around and why has the internet gone completely crazy?
01:48While most participants in the event would use protective equipment such as specialised
01:57glasses as well as buds for their ears etc, all those kinds of equipment to actually help
02:05them in the event, Yusuf pretty much rocked up as if he just got out of bed, took aim
02:12and fired.
02:13And this has prompted a variety of memes to pop up on the internet poking fun at the demeanour
02:23in which he just pretty much dominated this event even though he didn't win the gold but
02:31to be able to achieve this with silver just with this was and definitely is worth taking
02:38notice of and that's pretty much the mark that he's now left on the Olympic Games.
02:46So while he may not have taken the gold, he's definitely made people take notice and he's
02:52definitely going to be one Olympian that will not be forgotten in this edition of the Olympic
02:58Games and probably will be one that gets spoken about in future editions as well.
