【2008 Archives】

Stephen Nedoroscik008 Archives aka Pommel Horse Guy, proved to be an early Team USA standout in the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday, delivering a medal-winning performance.

However, it wasn't just Nedoroscik's stunning performance on the pommel horse for the U.S. men's gymnastics team that had folks talking. Like a cheesy scene from She's All That, parts of the internet couldn't quite believe a dude with glasses— gasp — could also be a world-class gymnast. Nedoroscik also got the requisite Clark Kent comparisons, considering he has dark hair and specs.

To be clear, Nedoroscik is a world-class gymnast. He specializes in the pommel horse event — like, that's all he does — and he absolutely crushed his routine to secure Team USA a bronze medal, the team's first medal since 2008. The team even lifted him in triumph after his performance.

The internet was chock full of memes, praise, and, to be honest, a bit of thirst for Nedoroscik. It was pretty cool to see someone who had one job freaking nail it for the team.

The Olympics typically produce celebrities out of nowhere. Athletes who train in relative obscurity get their shot at being heroes for a day. Today, that athlete was Stephen Nedoroscik.
