American Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik recently took part in a hilarious internet challenge where he was joined by Josh Scherer, one of the chefs from the Mythical Kitchen television show. Nedoroscik is currently engaged with his stint on Dancing With the Stars, following his campaign at the Paris Olympics.
Nedoroscik and Scherer engaged in some playful banter on social media where the gymnast was seen teaching the chef some basic routines on the pommel horse, an apparatus that the gymnast is considered a specialist in. The video featured the popular "Je M'appelle me poo poo" sound from the American sitcom Friends.
Nedoroscik attempted to teach Scherer how to do the routines properly, but the chef ended up doing something entirely different by the end of it. Mythical Kitchen shared the video on their Instagram handle, writing:
"THE GOAT 🐐 @stephen_nedoroscik"
Nedoroscik made history at the Paris Olympics by winning the United States' first individual Olympic medal in eight years by securing a bronze medal in the pommel horse. In addition, he played a pivotal role in helping America earn its first Olympic gymnastics team medal in 16 years, scoring the highest among his teammates during the competition.

Fallon also asked Nedoroscik about how he recognized pommel horse as his gymnastics talent, to which he replied:
"So, back when I was a junior in high school, I started just getting really good at pommel horse, and one of these club coaches came up to me and said, 'I think you could be national champion one day,' and that kind of just spoke to me, and I really started to grind, and sure enough that year I won my first junior national title on pommel horse."

After wrapping up the Summer Games, the 26-year-old took on a new challenge by participating in the celebrity dance show Dancing With the Stars with dance partner Rylee Arnold. He has successfully made it to the seventh week of the competition.
