The Olympic gymnast is joining the cast of Season 33 of"Dancing With the Stars," the show announced Thursday, Aug. 22.
The 25-year-old captured hearts in Paris and beyond as his dorky demeanor would change in a matter of seconds as he would shed his glasses to emerge into a powerhouse gymnast on the pommel horse — leading some to call him the in the men's team final, winning the bronze medal. He also won another bronze in the individual pommel horse event.
“I mean, it’s definitely different than what we’re used to. It’s a new normal at this point, but I’m loving it,” Nedoroscik said. “I’m loving the attention I'm bringing to men’s gymnastics and all my teammates. So I think it’s a really good thing, and I’m excited to see where it brings me.” “It’s not necessarily clear, but the thing about pommel horse is if I keep them on, they’re going to fly somewhere,” he said of his glasses. “When I go up on the pommel horse, it’s all about feeling the equipment. I don’t even really see when I’m doing my gymnastics. It’s all in the hands — I can feel everything.”
While Nedoroscik has clinched a spot on"DWTS," he spoke about the possibility of appearing on the dancing show in an interview with "One of my biggest insecurities is dancing, personally," he said."But I'm always the type of guy that pushes boundaries, like even just competing at the Olympics is a very uncomfortable environment, and I've gotten comfortable with being uncomfortable, so definitely not out of the question.
