Stephen Nedoroscik is leaning into his newfound stardom as a geeky, bespectacled, Rubik’s Cube-solving video gamer who just won two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics.
Stephen Nedoroscik, of the United States, competes during the men's artistic gymnastics individual pommel finals at Bercy Arena at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024, in Paris, France. PARIS —
Images and clips of Nedoroscik removing his glasses and centering himself before hopping on the pommel horse for a focused routine have gone viral. The memes and tweets have likened him to Clark Kent taking off his glasses and transforming into a hero.Internet fodder aside, Nedoroscik and his eyeglasses have brought visibility to an eye condition called coloboma, which occurs when part of the tissue that makes up the eye is missing.
The pommel horse isn’t a specialty Americans typically excel in. But the Worcester, Massachusetts, native took to it early on after initially getting into gymnastics by climbing up ropes and walls everywhere he could. It earned him the nickname “monkey boy.”
