Nedoroscik Wins Bronze in Pommel Horse Event

Stephen Nedoroscik, a 25-year-old gymnast from Worcester, Massachusetts, captured the internet's attention and won a bronze medal in the individual pommel horse event at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Known as the 'Pommel Horse Guy,' Nedoroscik became a viral sensation for his pre-routine ritual of solving a Rubik's Cube in under 10 seconds and for removing his trademark black-rimmed glasses before competing. His score of 15.300 secured his place behind Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan and Kazakhstan's Nariman Kurbanov. Earlier in the week, he helped the U.S. men's gymnastics team earn their first team medal in 16 years. Nedoroscik's meticulous routines and unique rituals have made him a standout figure at these Games, where he also earned the nickname 'Clark Kent' for his transformation on the pommel horse.
