Stephen Nedoroscik, the pommel horse specialist of Team USA, took a trip to Apple Park for the latest iPhone release event and ran into Apple CEO, Tim Cook. Nedoroscik came fresh off his maiden Games appearance, having added the team and individual pommel horse bronze to his resume.
Nedoroscik, 25, won hearts for his bespectacled look, Rubik's cube-solving skills, and calm demeanor before his event finals in Paris. Fans also noted his resemblance with the fictional character, Clark Kent.
He was the last to compete in the team event and his pommel horse score of 14.866 anchored the US team to the coveted bronze. In the individual finals, he scored 15.300 in the pommel to win the bronze, the first individual medal of the men's team since the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Stephen Nedoroscik will be part of Dancing with the Stars Season 33
Stephen Nedoroscik was the first celebrity to be announced for the Dancing with the Stars roster. He will partner with 2018 Dancing with the Stars Junior champion Rylee Arnold.
In a recent interview with E News, the 2021 World pommel horse champion revealed being a novice but promised to give his best.
"I don’t really know how to dance. I think the approach to gymnastics is similar to the approach in dance. I’m out there learning a skill, and then I’m putting it in a routine, I’m training that, and then I’m performing in front of judges and a live audience," he said.
He will be cheered on by his girlfriend Tess McCracken, who already shifted to Los Angeles with their orange tabby Kyushu. The DWTS Season 33 will start on September 17, 2024.
