Week four of Dancing with the Stars was a wild ride, but gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik had a little extra flair up his sleeve. He strutted onto the stage rocking a blonde wig, leather jacket, and full metal attire like he just stepped out of an ’80s rock concert. Not exactly what you’d expect from the “Clark Kent of Gymnastics,” right? But hey, it was Hair Metal night, so he was living the theme. And then, just when you thought he couldn’t up the ante he threw in some epic gymnastics flares, pulling a pigeon out of his hat (figuratively) and nailing moves that wowed the judges and audience alike. The result?

Stephen and his partner, Rylee Arnold, snagged their highest score yet—an impressive 32 out of 40! But the fun didn’t stop there. Stephen teased what’s coming in week five for Dedication Night—a special tribute to men’s gymnastics. Gymnastics and dancing! And in the lead-up to the epic night came the heartwarming moment: Team USA’s men’s gymnastics squad sent Stephen a video to show their love and support.

On October 15, the Instagram handle of Team USA shared a snippet showing Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Fred Richard, and Khoi Young. They all wished Nedoroscik well for his upcoming performance in DWTS, which is shaping as a tribute to men’s gymnastics. In the snippet, the men’s gymnastics squad members couldn’t hide their emotions while showering their praise for their teammate. In the meantime, Juda said, “You have been killing it so far. We miss you. Can’t wait to see you light up.” He concluded his statement by wishing the Penn State gymnast good luck for his next performance. 

Meanwhile, others lined up to showcase their emotions for Stephen Nedoroscik. That rundown may have melted Stephen’s heart like nothing else. Subsequently, in the post’s comment box, he dropped his message by penning, “Best team mates ever, miss you guys!!! 🇺🇸🫶🏻”. Rylee did not remain timid as she entered the emotional affair after a few moments. 

Today, the dance prodigy shared Team USA’s post in her Instagram stories. Along with that, she captioned her story with lines like, “So sweet [emoji] so excited for this one and how much it means to @stephen_nedoroscik” That reveals that now team Arnold Pommel is yearning to channel the emotion in its performance tonight. However, the duo has prepared themselves suitably for the special night. Regardless, Stephen Nedoroscik has his reason to mark the night as a message to everyone. 

Stephen Nedoroscik is on his way to etch his name in the book of Gymnastics welfare 

Reportedly, on October 15, Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold will stomp their feet to shape the Argentine Tango in the tune of “Seven Nation Army” performed by The White Stripes. Notably, Nedoroscik set up a pommel horse apparatus for his rehearsal, especially to incorporate gymnastics. Spieth Gymnastics deserves credit for working with the two-time world champion to arrange everything. Finally, Stephen felt thrilled to have these things to fulfill his wish in DWTS. But what made him plan the route map? That takes us a few days back. 

Recently, Ohio State removed the athletic scholarships from the men’s gymnastics program. Despite the outstanding performance by the male gymnasts at the Paris Olympics, the step came into being. Stephen Nedoroscik did not welcome that announcement. He ridiculed the NCAA’s myopic vision to realize the exact value of men’s gymnastics at the college level. Furthermore, he felt the need to send a firm message to the authorities protesting their decision. That gave birth to the plan. 

Meanwhile, Stephen clarified, “This week I’m dedicating my dance to men’s gymnastics. I chose men’s gymnastics because it is a dying sport in the United States, especially with the NCAA being our biggest funneling system in the United States. Every single Olympic Team member was an NCAA gymnast.” Now, here it comes, the auspicious day to watch Stephen Nedoroscik rise above the stature of a usual gymnast.
