The 2024 Paris Olympics feature some of the most important names in the world of sports, from basketball legend LeBron James and gymnastics icon Simone Biles to tennis great Novak Djokovic. But if you ask the internet, the biggest stars of the Olympics are actually two shooting athletes, South Korea’s Kim Ye-ji and Turkiye’s Yusuf Dikec, who were largely unknown to casual sports fans before competing in Paris.

Ye-ji and Dikec both caught the internet’s attention due to their appearance and approach in their respective competitions, albeit for different reasons.

Ye-ji competed in the women’s 10-meter air pistol, where she won a silver medal, and brought a remarkable “main character energy,” according to social media users. She came out wearing a black outfit, a backward cap, and specialized lenses while oozing style and composure.

Dikec, on the other hand, won a silver medal in 10-meter air pistol Mixed team discipline with an unorthodox approach that left social media users impressed and branded him as having “final boss energy.” Unlike most of his peers, Dikec competed without any additional equipment like headphones or specialized lenses. Instead, he relied on his everyday glasses and looked unfazed by the moment with a hand in his pocket. 

Ye-ji and Dikec’s newfound popularity on the internet didn’t escape the attention of the Paris Olympics’ social media team, who branded the duo as Olympic shooting sports stars “we didn’t know we needed.”
