The stars are in action at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Simone Biles is displaying her G.O.A.T. status in gymnastics, LeBron James is helping the U.S. stack victories in basketball, and Katie Ledecky has already won multiple medals in swimming.
But there are other Olympians enjoying success in Paris, and you may be unfamiliar with their game.
New stars are born
Olympic shooters Kim Yeji (South Korea) and Yusuf Dikec (Turkiye) are making waves in their sport, and on social media.
The two have caught the eyes of viewers across the world and have received positive remarks about their skill, shooting style — and aura.
Meet Kim Yeji
Kim is 31 years old and represents South Korea in the pistol events in Olympic shooting.
So far at the Paris Olympics, Kim won silver in women's 10m air pistol and placed seventh in mixed team 25m pistol. Her next competition will be in the women's 25m pistol event at 3 a.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 2.
Kim has been trending on the internet for being described as looking like a cool movie star while competing. She wears an all-black suit, white hat and eye gear, but it's her aiming pose that tops off her "main character energy" when she's out on the range. Kim is also being talked about for keeping a straight face, even when she won silver.
This is Kim's first time competing at the Games, but she won two medals at the 2024 World Cup in Baku prior to Paris. Her reason for getting involved in the sport was simply because of curiosity and she started playing in middle school. Kim is also a mother and she has without a doubt made her daughter proud with her performances at the Olympics.
Meet Yusuf Dikec
Dikec is 51 years old and represents Turkiye in the pistol events in Olympic shooting.
The now-five-time Olympian (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024) recently concluded his time at the Paris Games, winning silver in mixed team 10m air pistol and placing 13th in men's 10m air pistol.
But even after finishing his last event on Monday, Dikec is getting attention days later on social media. It's mainly for his laid-back stance when competing and casually putting one hand in his pocket while the other is holding the air pistol. He also has no equipment that a typical Olympic shooter wears to prepare for an event, such as headphones, eye gear or ear protectors.
"I did not need special equipment," he said afterward, according to EuroNews. "I'm a natural — a natural shooter."
It's been an Olympic Games to never forget for the Turkish sport shooter as this summer also marked his first medal in the sport. Away from the shooting range, Dikec enjoys dancing and lives his life by this philosophy — which will certainly get a laugh from his new fans: "Success doesn't come with your hands in your pockets."
