'Pommel Horse Guy' Stephen Nedoroscik Wins Another Olympic Bronze
HuffPost
Nedoroscik became a breakout hero when he took off his glasses and slayed the pommel horse, helping his team to a long-awaited victory.
Stephen Nedoroscik, the breakout star gymnast that became known as “pommel horse guy” after an iconic performance in the men’s team final, is taking home another medal from the Paris Olympics.
He won a bronze medal on Saturday in the men’s gymnastics individual pommel horse final. Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan took gold and Nariman Kurbanov of Kazakhstan secured the silver.
He’s the first individual medalist for the men’s USA team since 2016.
The self-described “nerdy pommel horse specialist” went viral after he whipped off his glasses and dominated the apparatus on Monday. His performance propelled his squad to bronze, breaking a 16-year medal drought for the U.S. in that men’s event.
But it was Nedoroscik’s mannerisms in the lead-up to Monday’s performance that won hearts around the world, with some dubbing him the “Clark Kent of pommel horse.” At one point as he waited his turn, he appeared to take a nap.
