Who is Stephen Nedoroscik?

Nedoroscik is a pommel horse specialist for Team USA, who is going viral for both his look and his Olympic routine.

The 25-year-old wears glasses around the mat, giving off a Clark Kent look. He doesn't, however, wear the glasses during his pommel horse routine.

If you're wondering why he doesn't wear contact lenses, Nedoroscik wears glasses for comfort and superstitious reasons, according to the Olympics. He is said to have gotten glasses as a gift from a friend.

Nedoroscik played a major role for the United States during Day 3 of the 2024 Summer Games. His performance put the men's gymnastics team on the podium for the first time since 2008.
