He is a retired non-commissioned officer of the Turkish gendarmerie and a member of Jandarma Gücü Sports Club.[1][2] He won a silver medal in the 10 meter air pistol mixed team event at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside teammate Şevval İlayda Tarhan.

Early life

Yusuf Dikeç was born 1973 in Taşoluk village of Göksun district in Kahramanmaraş Province. After his primary schooling in his village, he completed his secondary education in Göksun. In 1994, he enrolled to the Military School of Gendarmerie in Ankara. After graduation, he became a corporal and entered duty in Mardin. In 1999, Dikeç entered the Military School of Gendarmerie. After one year, he graduated in the rank of a sergeant. He served one year in Istanbul, and then was appointed to Jandarma Gücü in Ankara, the sports club of the Turkish Gendarmerie.[2][3]

In 2001, he began with sport shooting. Since then, Dikeç competes in the military national team as well as in the national team.[2][3] He was educated in physical education and sports at Gazi University in Ankara.[1]

Sport career

Dikeç became the Turkish champion several times and is the national record holder in different categories of pistol events.[2]

In 2006, he set a new world record in 25 m center-fire pistol event at the CISM Military World Championships held in Rena, Norway, scoring 597 points.[4]

Dikeç won the bronze medal in the 10 metre air pistol event at the 2012 ISSF World Cup Final held in Bangkok, Thailand.[5]

He qualified for participation in the 10 m air pistol men event at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[1] He also took part in the 50 m pistol event without advancing to the final round.[6]

At the 2013 European Shooting Championships held in Osijek, Croatia, from 21 July to 4 August, he became double gold medalist in 25 m standard pistol and 25 m center-fire pistol. He took also a silver medal in the 25 m standard team event with his teammates Fatih Kavruk and Murat Kılınç and another gold medal in the 25 m center-fire pistol team competition.[7] In the 50 m pistol event, he won another silver medal with his teammates Ömer Alimoğlu and İsmail Keleş.[8]

At the 2021 European Shooting Championships in Osijek, Croatia, he won the bronze medal with his teammates Serdar Demirel and İsmail Keleş in the 10 m Air Pistol Team event.[9]

Dikeç and his teammate Şevval İlayda Tarhan won the silver medal in the 10 m air pistol Mixed team event at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, after losing to the Serbian team of Zorana Arunović and Damir Mikec in the final.[10] In this event, he went viral for his "seeming nonchalance" and "noticeably casual vibe". While many of his competitors wore bulky large ear protectors, visors, and high-tech shooting glasses, Dikeç, at age 51, wore a jersey that resembled an ordinary T-shirt and regular eyeglasses, with barely noticeable earplugs, and shot with one hand casually tucked in his pants pocket.[11][12]
