Gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik Talks Nailing Pommel Horse Routine

Eyes were on U.S. gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik at the Paris Olympics on Monday. Nedoroscik — who had become a fan-favorite on social media — had one task at the men’s gymnastics team final: the pommel horse. And he nailed the routine with a 14.866. “It was just the greatest moment of my life, I think,” he told reporters after the win. “[I’m] so happy to have been there.” He noted: “I have [coach] Sam Mikulak as just like, the greatest coach of all time. He’s up there, helping me keep the nerves in check. He knows exactly what to say to me. So when we got that chalk bucket, he kind of just settled me down and said, ‘You’re ready for this.’ I went up there, did my routine and during that dismount, I was just like, already smiling.” What are you enjoying most about this year's Olympics? What event are you most excited about?
