American gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik is drawing Superman comparisons at Paris Olympics.
The pommel horse isn't a specialty Americans typically excel in, but Nedoroscik took to it early on after initially getting into gymnastics by climbing up ropes and walls everywhere he could.Posted: Aug 04, 2024 10:26 PM EDT | Last Updated: 10 hours ago
The 25-year-old U.S. gymnast finished third in the pommel horse on Saturday, five days after helping the American men's team earn bronze — its first Olympic medal in 16 years.

Nedoroscik is relaxed and soaking up his moment now, but leading up to his routine, he was "doing my breathing exercises to keep my heart rate down. And like, the whole time I'm telling myself, `you're excited, let's go out there and show people like, this is a performance! Let's go and have fun with it."'
