Turkish air pistol shooter Yusuf Dikec has become an unexpected Olympic star after winning a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Games.

The 51-year-old won silver without any special equipment (lenses, masks, ear protection) and was later compared to a killer, even though he has actually competed in every Summer Olympics since 2008.

Her apparent nonchalance has drawn comparisons online to South Korean shooter Kim Yeji, who also won silver in her event and won over fans with her impeccable cool.

Naturally, both sports heroes have become the subject of video game memes.

If you haven't seen the specific video, Yeji received “main character energy” with this viral clip, although she actually resurfaced from the International Shooting Federation World Cup in May.

This image of Dikec, meanwhile, with his hand in his pocket, proved to be such a source of inspiration.

One player recreated the pair in Tekken 8, catching the attention of game director Katsuhiro Harada.

However, if they were actually engaged in fighting games, their moves would be completely opposite.

User X Luisiiki compared both shooters to Kim Kitsuragi and Harrier Du Bois from the RPG Disco Elysium.

In particular, Dikec has been recreated in multiple roles: in this case as a Persona character, the protagonist of Hitman, the protagonist of Red Dead, and Koana from Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail.

Outside of video games, the two characters have also been widely depicted in anime.

And here is Yeji as Jynx, the main character of Arcane.

All we need now is for Yeji and Dikec to actually be added to a video game. Modders, I'm looking at you.

As for Olympics-themed video games, if you’re missing out on a Mario & Sonic game this year, it’s because the IOC is focusing on NFTs and eSports instead.
