As a gamer with a soft spot for heartwarming stories, I must say that Stephen Nedoroscik has truly captured my admiration and respect. His touching tribute to his grandfather during the Olympics is not just a simple gesture, but a testament to the bond between family and heritage. It’s a reminder that even in the heat of competition, we should never forget where we come from and those who have paved the way for us.
Instead of Simone Biles being the unexpected viral sensation at the 2024 Paris Olympics in gymnastics, it’s Stephen Nedoroscik, the pommel horse specialist, who has captivated viewers with his heartwarming performance, contributing to a medal win for the U.S. men’s team. Now, this athlete has shared the story behind one of his on-screen habits, and it’s quite moving.
It has been observed that Stephen Nedoroscik often touches his ear during Olympic broadcasts, and it was recently discovered that this action isn’t due to nervousness or superstition. In an interview with The Today Show, he shared the reason behind this habit.
As a proud grandson who had the privilege of knowing my incredible grandfather for 94 years, I can confidently say that he was truly one-of-a-kind. Growing up, his stories about serving in World War II and his unwavering spirit left an indelible mark on me. His name, Stephen John Nedoroscik, was not only the title given to him at birth but also a source of immense pride that I carried with me throughout my life, especially during my time at Penn State where I proudly acknowledged him whenever I appeared on TV by saying ‘Hey Dziadek.’
As a longtime sports enthusiast and former gymnast myself, I must say that watching the outstanding men’s team gymnastics event at the Olympics was nothing short of captivating. One particular moment that stood out to me was when I saw the competitor Nedoroscik preparing for his routine on the pommel horse. His transformation from a seemingly ordinary man into a focused and determined athlete, as he removed his glasses and donned his game face, instantly reminded me of Clark Kent in action.
Viewing his explanation of his habit is just as charming and captivating as reading it. Here’s a peek:

Stephen Nedoroscik gained widespread attention for several reasons, including his glasses-wearing appearance and spending an entire day idling near the team event while waiting for his specialty event on pommel horse. His performance on the apparatus was crucial for the United States men’s gymnastics team to secure their first medal in 16 years, which they ultimately achieved by winning the bronze. Similar to the U.S. women’s rugby team’s historic bronze medal win, receiving a bronze instead of gold or silver doesn’t diminish the significance of the experience.
The U.S. male team didn’t excel in the individual all-around competition, as a few errors kept Frederick Richard, Paul Juda, and possibly others from reaching the podium. However, Stephen Nedoroscik still has a chance to shine, as his pommel horse final isn’t until August 3 (Saturday), after the women’s vault final and men’s floor exercise final. It’s likely that he’ll have a boisterous crowd supporting him this weekend!
To catch up on some past gymnastics events or those from the 2024 Paris Olympics that have already taken place, you can find numerous streaming options with a Peacock Premium account. Prime-time coverage on NBC is also ongoing, but please note that it’s typically not live broadcast due to time zone differences between France and the United States.
