Carbon Costume

In the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games, Korean sharpshooter Kim Ye-ji went viral for her futuristic steampunk/cyberpunk shooting glasses and ice-cold demeanor — in sharp contrast to the cuddly Turkish sharpshooter. But she wasn’t all business — she held her daughter’s small elephant plush in her left hand as she took home a silver medal for South Korean in the 10-meter air pistol women’s event.

In the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, Turkish sharpshooter Yusuf Dikeç went viral for his no frills setup and relaxed posture reminiscent of the average dad — or perhaps a hitman in disguise. No earplugs, no high-tech goggles, just a hand in his pocket was enough to win him a silver medal at the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. To go bare minimum on your costume, as Yusuf himself probably would do, all you need are black glasses, a white Turkiye shirt, and an air pistol. Add the salt-and-pepper wig or a green Nacar dive watch for the extra touch.
