Stephen Nedoroscik is imparting some Pommel Horse knowledge into his Dancing With The Stars partner. Popularly known as the ‘Pommel Horse Guy’, Nedoroscik had a fantastic outing at the Paris Olympics. On a mission to break a 15-year-old Olympic curse, it was Nedoroscik’s 14.866 on the Pommel Horse that led the men’s US gymnastics team to secure an Olympic medal after 15 years. He later notched up 15.300 in the individual Pommel Horse final to win the bronze medal.
Soon, his resemblance to DC Comics’ superhero character Clark Kent made him overly popular on social media. As a result, Nedoroscik was announced as the first celebrity entrant for the 33rd season of Dancing With The Stars. Partnering with the Olympian, it will be the seasoned campaigner Rylee Arnold looking to set the stage on fire. But while the pilot episode is scheduled for September 17, the duo decided to have some fun on the Pommel Horse.

In a recently viral video on X, the Olympic bronze medalist was spotted guiding Rylee Young on the Pommel Horse. While hesitating initially, Young managed to pull off her routine, after which she looked elated. As a matter of fact, while Nedoroscik is completely new to the show, Rylee Young already has a bucket full of experience on Dancing With The Stars. Back in 2018, Arnold paired up with Miles Brown to win the Dancing With The Stars Junior.

Having significant success on the show, the 19-year-old came back in the 32nd season, where she was paired with Harry Jowsey. While the duo sparked heavy dating rumors throughout the show, their chemistry fizzled off once the show ended. In fact, both Arnold and Jowsey revealed that they were not involved in any romantic relationship, and Jowsey was dating Jessica Vestal from Perfect Match 2.
Unfortunately, Jowsey’s relationship with Vestal did not last long, as the pair broke up shortly after. In a surprising statement, Vestal revealed that the major reason for their fallout was Arnold and Jowsey’s on-screen chemistry on Dancing With The Stars. She also said that despite their relationship being kept private, Vestal could not stand the fact that the entire world was thinking of Jowsey’s partner to be Arnold. Thus, with some serious controversies plaguing Rylee Arnold, the pairing up with Stephen Nedoroscik can act as a boon to clear up the mess. Fans too expressed their support for the duo going into the latest season of DWTS.
