Stephen Nedoroscik has been enjoying some of the best times of his life since Paris 2024. Leading up to the Olympics, Nedoroscik had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. To get his country to clinch the first Olympic medal in men’s gymnastics after 16 long years. Unfortunately, things started to haywire soon. Brody Malone, who was the crowd’s favorite, had some nasty falls to elevate the tension in the US camp.
However, it was Nedoroscik who stepped up to don the superhero cape and save his nation. Mounting on the Pommel Horse, Nedoroscik had one of the best routines to grab his team’s bronze medal. He also went on to win another bronze in the individual Pommel Horse category. With the 26-year-old becoming a sensation overnight, Nedoroscik took quite a unique decision next. Skipping the Gold Over America Tour, Nedoroscik decided to try his luck in Dancing With The Stars.
While this was a surprising decision, Nedoroscik found an able ally in Rylee Arnold. Together, the duo weaved magic as they presented some of the mesmerizing dance performances in the show. Getting qualified for the finals, Nedoroscik and Arnold had one last hurrah as they finished fourth to conclude a memorable DWTS journey. As ‘The Pommel Horse Guy’s time on the show came to an end, it was an interesting prospect to see what the gymnast did next.

Well, it seems like Nedoroscik is having a prolonged break from gymnastics. After almost four months of DWTS, Nedoroscik is now looking to spend time playing golf. Taking to his Instagram, the Olympic bronze medalist expressed his excitement at being able to catch the Mag Foundation USA Golf Tournament. However, while Nedoroscik was seen smiling in the picture, he was unable to take a swing. This was because the ‘Clark Kent of gymnastics’ had picked up a small niggle. “Thankful to have made it home in time to catch the annual @magfoundationusa golf tournament! I tweaked my ab so l couldn’t play, but it was great to see all the support for my club gym EVO (which produced three 2024 olympians btw)”

While there are no further updates on his injury, the tweak is not expected to be a serious one. For the uninitiated. Stephen Nedoroscik is one of the EVO Elite athletes who is funded by the MAG Foundation USA. Now, speaking of Nedoroscik extending his fun time, he is still not done with his DWTS stint!
