Stephen Nedoroscik opened up about his tradition of solving the Rubik's cube just before his performances. The 25-year-old was also seen doing his Rubik's cube tradition during his first Olympic Games in Paris.

In an interview just after his bronze-medal-winning performance at the 2024 Games, Nedoroscik revealed that he had solved the Rubik's cube numerous times. He mentioned that this practice helps him to deviate from the outside noise and acts as a stress remover. He said (via Teen Vogue):

"I probably solved it about 100 times, maybe even more than that. It's a way for me to kill time and is also a stress reliever as well.”

Besides his Rubik's cube tradition, Stephen Nedoroscik also followed a superstitious eating routine during the Games. As per reports from Teen Vogue, the Massachusetts native consumed six green apple slices regularly as a part of his schedule. Commenting on this, Nedoroscik said:

"I had to make sure to continue with the ritual."
