Nedoroscik has garnered attention at the Olympics, earning the nickname “Clark Kent of pommel horse.” He specializes exclusively in the pommel horse event, representing Team USA in this discipline.
Earlier in the week, Nedoroscik contributed to the U.S. men’s gymnastics team securing their first team medal since 2008. The team won the bronze medal on Monday, finishing behind China and Japan.
