Stephen Nedoroscik reflected on the pressure he underwent as the last member of Team USA to compete during the team event finals during the 2024 Paris Olympics. In an interview last year, Nedoroscik stated that even though being the last member was a great honor for him, it also brought a lot of pressure on him.

Additionally, he also mentioned that there was a high possibility that he would crumble under pressure, which could have cost his side the team medal in the quadrennial games. He said via The Squeeze (19:08 onwards):

"Just being in that spot where I was the last guy on my team to compete, it was just like you know, it is an honor to be in that spot but it also carries an absurd amount of weight because you know theoratically, there's a possibility out there where I let get that pressure get to me you know, I didn't lock in as well and I got shook, that's the team medal on me if I mess that up so very scary circumstances."

Stephen Nedoroscik's pommel horse routine during the team performance saw him add 14.866 to the team score, giving the USA a bronze medal finish in Paris.
