Stephen Nedoroscik: World Champion Gymnast

UPDATE: Competing at the Paris Olympics, pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik helped the U.S. men’s gymnastics team win its first team medal since 2008 and won a bonze in pommel horse. Watch our profile of him from 2022:
Nedoroscik was a phenomenon in his Penn State career, winning two consecutive NCAA pommel horse titles his freshman and sophomore years. The global pandemic cut short his senior season and his plans to qualify for the Olympics on his own through World Cup international competitions. Stephen continued to train at Penn State and qualified for Team USA as a specialist for the 2021 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships where he made history as the first American to win a world title on pommel horse.

These biopics always make me tear up because I know, whether it's an athletic or academic pursuit, there are long hours, much sacrifice, and so many people behind any bit of success.

That was an excellent story! I really enjoyed it, and will share with my daughter who is also a Penn State alum and volleyball athlete (in Italy this season). 💙🏐

Fond memories of WPSX when I lived in Elk Co. in the 80's and 90's. Go Big Blue! Nice to have found this after the bronze medal win.

Beautiful! Congrats steven and men's gynastics. It's like watching break dancing, ice skatings spins, a yoga flow and.... hawks circling in the sky? Still figuring out the comparison! chime in!
