Penn State alum Stephen Nedoroscik is having the time of his life. After a successful stint at the 33rd Olympic Games, Nedoroscik is also making waves at the 33rd season of Dancing With The Stars, and he’s about to merge his two passions together. Joining hands with professional dancer Rylee Arnold, the 25-year-old Olympic medalist has something special planned for his national teammates, and no one’s immune from the excitement!
So far at the DWTS, Nedoroscik has turned a lot of heads with his skills, and people can’t wait to see what he has in store for the fourth night of the show. Just days ago, the gymnast supplied a lot of giggles with his “Andy Samberg” look. Then, days later, rocking a funky 80s mullet-style wig, he and his partner, Rylee Arnold, took on Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” with none other than guitarist Joel Hoekstra playing live. This fourth performance lit up the DWTS stage, earning a solid 32 out of 40 as the duo crushed it! And now, his next routine is set to hail his teammates in the most electrifying way possible.
The official USA Gymnastics X account shared details of what Nedoroscik and Arnold are planning behind closed doors for their next TV appearance. Captioned “COMING SOON,” the post can’t help but note its elation. For their fourth routine, the dancing team has selected the Argentine tango and will groove to the tunes of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes, and the country’s apex gymnastics body is also waiting with bated breath to see how things unfold.

“Olympian gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and pro Rylee Arnold will perform an Argentine tango to “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes, and dedicate the routine to men’s gymnastics,” elaborates the social media post, and it’s easy to understand why the anticipation is so high for the USAG. On the third night of the show, Stephen took a cue from his pommel horse expertise to dish out a sensational routine to the music of Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again, and the USA Gymnastics authorities believe another belter is on its way.

Nedoroscik’s gymnastics buddies are currently on the road for the second edition of the Gold Over America Tour, bringing unbridled joy to the fans along with more exposure to the sport. Naturally, their teammate thinks they deserve more applause for their efforts, and Arnold is on board as well. In her latest Snapchat story, Arnold noted how “amazing” things are going to be for their next dance routine. It’s probably this kind of compassionate mentality that makes the Nittany Lion such a revered name in the country.
Stephen Nedoroscik taking as many as he can on his journey
The Olympian, along with his Team USA colleagues, brought an end to the country’s medal drought in men’s gymnastics in Paris earlier this year. Taking team bronze at the City of Love, Nedoroscik and his brethren bagged the first spot on the podium for the Stars and Stripes after 16 long years, and now he finally has the stage to show his appreciation for their collective efforts.

Nedoroscik’s time at the popular dancing show has been incredible. With that, the DWTS has also served as a great stage for Nedoroscik to share the story of his own physical conditions and how he has managed to rise above the challenge. With his dedication, Nedoroscik has paved the way for the younger fans to learn that their physical adversities cannot hold them back from pursuing their dreams.
On the other hand, the Olympian is also ensuring that his run at the dancing show is made memorable for even the people who are close to him. Last month, Stephen revealed how he had kept the leftover pieces from his clothes used at the show for his grandma. “She’s a big fan of the show. It was kind of her dream that I was on it,” grinned the pommel horse specialist, and Arnold was over the moon with emotions. So what do you think the dancing team has in store for us next? Do you believe they will be able to honor the national gymnasts’ titular effort properly? Share your thoughts with a comment!
