Stephen Nedoroscik, known as 'Pommel Horse Guy', has been confirmed as the first celebrity contestant for the 33rd season of 'Dancing With the Stars', which premieres on September 17, 2024. The Olympic bronze medalist gained fame during the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he helped the U.S. men's gymnastics team capture a bronze medal after a 16-year drought, and also secured an individual bronze in the pommel horse event. Nedoroscik aims to incorporate gymnastics elements like backflips and handstands into his dance routines and hopes to bring his calm pre-performance strategy to the dance floor. Speculation surrounds who his professional dance partner might be, with discussions about various dancers' suitability for him. The full cast announcement for the season will follow in the coming weeks. His rise to fame included viral moments that drew comparisons to Clark Kent, particularly due to him removing his glasses before performances.
