In most cases, the Sharpshooting events tend not to raise too many eyebrows at the Olympic games. This year, however, practically all eyes were on professional gunslingers competing in the arena thanks to the likes of Turkey’s cooler-than-cool Yusuf Dikec and South Korea’s unflinching Kim Ye-ji winning hearts across social media for their auras.
With this being the Internet, the sharpshooting contenders at this year’s Paris Olympics have now garnered fame that goes beyond regular convention, entering the realm of meme legend and lore. Here are some of the best memes from the Olympics sharpshooter events, featuring Yusuf Dikec, Kim Ye-ji, and more.
