American gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik received a special pair of glasses after his performance in the season finale of Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday (Nov. 26). The American gymnast produced an impressive performance in the final and finished fourth in this show.

The duo amassed 59 points across their redemption and freestyle rounds in the final round. Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold also earned their first full score (30) during their freestyle dance which they performed on Coldplay's 2008 song, "Viva la Vida".

Nedoroscik was also seen doing his pommel horse movements and flips during this performance which earned them wide acclaim. They finished behind the duos of Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten and Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong.

Following this final, all contestants of the 33rd season of DWTS featured in the "Good Morning America" show. During this program, the hosts of the show presented him with special Mirrorball glasses to celebrate his performances in DWTS. The gymnast seemed to be elated with this surprise gift and immediately tried it on and was heard saying:

"I love this"

DWTS judge Derek Hough commented on Stephen Nedoroscik and his partner Rylee Arnold's freestyle performance in the season finale.

Following the two-time Olympic medalist's freestyle performance, Hough revealed that he loved the duo's performance. He also said that he had thought of Nedoroscik being a good fit for the show after seeing his gymnastic movements and drills at the 2024 Summer Olympics. He said (via International Gymnastics Magazine):

"I remember watching you on TV during the Olympics and saying man, he would be great at Dancing with the Starts, and here you are in the finale with that incredible free style. The song, the concept, the choreography the team effort, I loved it, I loved it."

Nedoroscik had also executed his gymnastic moves during his performance on the fourth week of the show. As the 33rd season of the show concluded with the final, Stephen Nedoroscik is also set to feature during the show's live tour as a co-host scheduled to begin in January.
