You won't believe the money he earned! Yusuf Dikeç hit the jackpot.

The money prize that will be given to the athletes who won medals in Turkey, which completed the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with 3 silver and 5 bronze medals, has been delivered to the winners.

300 Republic Gold Coins to YUSUF DIKEÇ

According to the regulations, no one benefited from the prize worth 1000 Republic Gold Coins given to athletes who won gold medals this year, while athletes who won silver medals were given 600 Republic Gold Coins and athletes who won bronze medals were given 300 Republic Gold Coins.

The name that made its mark on the Olympic Games on behalf of Turkey was Yusuf Dikeç, who won a silver medal in the mixed team 10-meter air pistol category with Şevval İlayda Tarhan. Unlike other athletes, Dikeç, who did not use professional equipment and showed a relaxed attitude, became an icon with his pose, which was imitated by many athletes around the world. The Turkish lira equivalent of the money prize given to the 51-year-old athlete has been determined.

Unlike individual sports, the prize money of players who achieve success in a team sport was also evaluated according to this criterion. Due to Yusuf Dikeç and Şevval İlayda Tarhan winning a silver medal in a team sport, a payment worth 300 Republic Gold Coins was made to each athlete.

WORTH 5.5 MILLION TL

With the delivery of the money won in the Olympic Games, Yusuf Dikeç has earned a prize worth approximately 5.5 million Turkish lira. Turkey ranks high among the countries that give the highest money prizes for Olympic medals, with Hong Kong being the first. The People's Republic of China Hong Kong Special Administrative Region gives 25,422,000 TL for a gold medal, 12,711,000 TL for a silver medal, and 6,355,000 TL for a bronze medal.
