Following his successful performance, Nedoroscik has been a source of curiosity for fans. “Who is the pommel horse performer?” many have asked. Well, here’s a look into Nedoroscik’s life and performance at the 2024 Olympics.

Stephen Nedoroscik at the 2024 Olympics

On Monday, July 29, 2024, Stephen Nedoroscik made an exceptional display during his performance, pushing his team to an Olympic medal. The team, consisting of Nedoroscik, Paul Juda, Fred Richard, Brody Malone, and Asher Hong, won a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Team Japan finished 1.801 points ahead of Team USA to win the gold medal. Team China came in second, securing themselves the silver medal. This achievement breaks the 16-year Olympic medal drought the U.S. men’s gymnastics team has faced since 2008. 

Nedoroscik on His Routine

Speaking on his performance, Nedoroscik said, “It was just the greatest moment of my life, I think, I’m so happy to have been there.” Nedoroscik had aced his pommel horse routine with a 14.866. Subsequently, he described the event of the day as tiring, although he admitted his eagerness to end the day with the pommel horse routine.

Nedoroscik said, “I framed that in my head as a positive, like I can be the exclamation point.” Before his amazing performance, Nedoroscik was already a fan favorite online because of his glasses. Some social media users have drawn similarities between Stephen Nedoroscik and Clark Kent, Superman’s alter ego. 

According to the gymnast, he had just completed his breathing exercises when he began hearing cheers from his teammates. He stated that hearing Malone and Juda cheer for him felt like he was being set up for success. He said, “I kind of, in that moment, was like, ‘Alright, let’s run it back, then. Let’s go out there and do our thing.”

Subsequently, Nedoroscik shouted out Sam Mikulak, a retired American artistic gymnast, whom he described as the greatest coach of all time. Nedoroscik said that Mikulak was not only present but also ensured that he kept his composure at all times.

Additionally, he stated that Mikulak, who always knew the right thing to say, had encouraged him as it got to his turn. Stephen Nedoroscik said, “When we got that chalk bucket, he kind of just settled me down and said, ‘You’re ready for this.’ I went up there, did my routine and during that dismount, I was just like, already smiling.”

Comments About Nedoroscik’s Performance

Following Nedoroscik’s pommel horse performance, the internet erupted with praise and appreciation for the gymnast and the US Men’s Gymnastics Team. The team, which had experienced a medal drought, earned its first medal in over a decade.

According to Jordan Gaarentstroom, a gymnastics coach at the University of Michigan, seeing Nedoroscik’s performance on the pommel horse, the US Men’s Gymnastics Team knew they had the chance to win a medal.

When speaking with the press, Gaarenstroom said “Once we got to the pommel horse and we started crunching the numbers, we like, stay on the horse and we can do this.” Gaarenstroom added, “Not only did they stay on the horse, they crushed the horse.”

How Old Is Stephen Nedoroscik?

Stephen Nedoroscik is a 25-year-old bespectacled gymnast from Worcester, Massachusetts. He won an Olympic bronze medal for the US men’s gymnastics at the Paris 2024 Olympics. After a picture of Nedoroscik sleeping went viral, it became public that he was only competing in one category.

Consequently, he had to wait three hours on the sidelines before having to perform his routine. While Nedoroscik was waiting, he made an Instagram post claiming to have solved a Rubik’s cube in less than 10 seconds.

However, what seemed to strike people was his transformation from an average “guy” to a superhero after he took off his glasses. Consequently, social media has begun comparing him to a real-life Clark Kent.

Since high school, Nedoroscik has not participated in any other gymnastics apparatus. Between 2016 and 2024, Nedoroscik won two NCAA titles, four national titles, and a 2021 world title on the pommel horse.

Stephen Nedoroscik Eye Condition

According to reports, Stephen Nedoroscik suffers from strabismus, which is more commonly known as crossed eyes. Although strabismus enables him to alternate his dominant eye, it also affects his vision.

Following his performance on July 29, 2024, Nedoroscik is expected to compete again in the men’s pommel horse final on August 3, 2024. However, while his last performance was in the team category, Nedoroscik will be competing next in the individual category.
