Stephen Nedoroscik’s Girlfriend “Almost Fainted” at Pommel Horse Event

As I delve deeper into the lives of these extraordinary athletes, I am truly awestruck by their resilience and determination. Each one of them is a beacon of inspiration, proving that no obstacle is too big to overcome when you have the heart and spirit to persevere.


Stephen Nedoroscik’s girlfriend is just as enthralled by his pommel horsing. 

In my role as a lifestyle enthusiast, I can’t help but share a heartwarming moment from the world of gymnastics. As the esteemed Team USA athlete, who captured the hearts of many with his electrifying performance on the pommel horse during the men’s gymnastics team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, concluded his routine, my partner of eight years, Tess McCracken, found herself on the very edge of her seat.

In my own account to NBC News during our conversation on July 30, I shared that the intense screaming left me feeling quite dizzy, bordering on fainting. Meanwhile, internally, I found myself urging my partner, “Hang on to the horse.”

Tess, aged 26, labels Stephen, 25, as a “quirky individual,” yet finds herself taken aback by his unexpected claim to renown. She’s been sharing on her social media platforms every piece of content she comes across that pertains to the gymnast.

“This journey’s surprise spinoff, gaining popularity online, has been quite delightful,” she remarked, echoing her joy. “It’s been one of the most enjoyable experiences.”

During the team final, the woman who graduated from Penn State watched from the sidelines as her boyfriend contributed to the men’s gymnastics team winning their first bronze medal since 2008.

Additionally, Stephen, a member of Team USA with Brody Malone, Frederick Richard, Asher Hong, and Paul Juda, possesses skills that extend beyond his pommel horse performance. The team strategically decided to focus on leveraging his strengths rather than asking him to do more than he’s capable of.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “During the men’s team final, I, as a seasoned gymnastics analyst and an Olympic gold medalist myself, noted that Nedoroscik’s scores on the pommel horse were significantly higher than any other competitor in that event. This standout routine of his adds a substantial potential score for Team USA, effectively giving them a full point advantage over the next contender representing the USA.”

Besides the action yielding positive results on the score, internet fans were captivated by Stephen’s graceful balance on the pommel horse.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can’t help but be captivated by the gymnast on the US men’s team who specializes in the pommel horse. On July 29th, a spectator, formerly of Twitter, penned their thoughts, stating that this athlete is like a sleeper agent, patiently waiting until activated. Just as Clark Kent removes his glasses, our gymnast springs into action, executing a mesmerizing pommel horse routine that significantly contributed to the team securing its first medal in 16 years.

Until the next time Superman returns to compete in his event on August 3rd, he will be strolling through Paris with Tess, his beloved companion who resembles Lois Lane.

Noah Lyles is in the running to be declared the fastest man in the world.

2023 could see the athlete who won the world title in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay (an uncommon sprint triple crown) aiming to conquer all three events in Paris, following a shocking third-place finish in the 100m at Tokyo’s games.

Simone Biles, who won the Olympic gold medal for gymnastics all-around in 2016 and holds the record for most decorations among gymnasts, still has some unresolved matters in Paris following her decision to withdraw from most events at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 due to a condition called ‘the twisties’.

Representing Team USA alongside Biles are Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera.

Veteran goalkeeper for the women’s national soccer team, Alyssa Naeher, boasts two World Cup victories, numerous impressive statistics, and a notable vacancy on her resume – a space she hopes to fill with Olympic gold from Paris, following their bronze medal win in Tokyo.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this:

As a devoted admirer, I am proudly sharing that Katie Ledecky, an accomplished swimmer, boasts ten Olympic medals with seven of them being golden. In May, this extraordinary athlete was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Currently participating in her fourth Games, the Stanford graduate stands on the brink of making history as the first female swimmer to win gold four times consecutively, should she continue her reign in the 800 meters.

As a die-hard soccer fan, I can’t help but express my passion for the Olympic soccer rules that mandate men’s teams to consist of players aged 23 or younger, with only three exceptions known as “overage” players. This rule made me believe that my dream of seeing Walker Zimmerman grace the stage at this prestigious event was shattered when the U.S. men’s team missed qualifying in 2016.

Later, as events unfolded this year, he expressed his feelings to the Los Angeles Times, stating, “Simply having the chance is incredible.”

In an interview with NBC Sports, runner Nikki Hiltz shared that if asked in 2021 during the Trials whether they regretted revealing their identity as trans and nonbinary, they would have answered affirmatively, but now they don’t feel that way anymore (or something similar).

However, Hiltz persisted undeterred – neither in pursuit of truth nor their sport. In the year 2023, they triumphed in both the U.S. indoor and outdoor 1500m competitions. They repeated this indoor victory in 2024, and on June 30, they set a leading time of 3:55.33 to clinch the women’s 1500m at Trials.

As we wrap up Pride Month, I felt compelled to dedicate my final race to my cherished community. I shared this sentiment with NBC Sports upon crossing the finish line.

2023 U.S. Open champion and current world number two tennis player, Coco Gauff, is all set to make her Olympic debut in Paris. Unfortunately, a positive COVID-19 test had previously prevented her from participating in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Renowned U.S. dancer Victor Montalvo, ranked second globally, is poised to shake up the Olympics with breakdancing’s highly anticipated debut at the Paris Olympic Games.

On the U.S. men’s basketball team, there’s usually not just a single superstar, but this year, four-time NBA champion LeBron James is gearing up for what seems to be his final Olympic appearance. He will be among the two flagbearers for Team USA in the Opening Ceremony on July 26.

James told reporters he was “super-appreciative and-super humbled” by the honor.

There’s nothing not cool about wheelchair rugby, and Chuck Aoki has been a shining member of the U.S. Paralympic team since 2012 (in London). He’s already earned a bronze and two silvers, so winning gold in Paris would make his trophy case even more impressive.

Hunter Woodhall, who is not just recognized as the supportive partner of long-jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall, is also a remarkable sprinter. As a two-time Paralympian and the first-ever double-amputee athlete to earn an NCAA Division I scholarship, he heads to Paris with a strong track record in the men’s T62 400m and T62 100m events, having triumphed at the Trials.

Two beach volleyball partners and long-time friends, Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss (both alums of Louisiana State University), weren’t professional athletes yet when, in April 2021, Kristen presented Taryn with an ankle bracelet as a birthday gift. The engraving on the bracelet read “August 11, 2024.”

If you’re guessing that’s the date of the women’s finals at the Paris Olympics, you are correct.

Born in Ukraine in 1989 due to birth defects linked to the Chernobyl disaster, Oksana Masters was raised in Louisville, Ky., by her adoptive mother Gay Masters. She underwent several surgeries, including leg amputations at the ages of 9 and 14, leading her to try rowing as a sport afterwards.

For the seven-time gold medalist, it doesn’t matter if it’s sun or snow because she has experience competing across various seasons. As a para-cross-country skier and para-biathlete for Winter Paralympics, and a para-cyclist and para-rower for Summer Paralympics, she is well-prepared for Paris, where her focus will be on cycling events.

Following a near-podium finish in Tokyo, surfer Caroline Marks is all geared up to bring her 2023 world title to an Olympic triumph – but not in Paris. Instead, the surfing events are scheduled for Teahupo’o on Tahiti, roughly 10,000 miles distant from the main celebrations.

Swimmer Jessica Long, who identifies herself as “Born without legs and living my best life” on Instagram, is preparing for her sixth Paralympic Games. With a remarkable tally of 29 medals, 16 of which are gold, she seems to be competing more for the privilege of boasting about her achievements now.

A’ja Wilson, a two-time WNBA MVP from the Las Vegas Aces, will spearhead the U.S. women’s basketball team as they aim to secure their eighth consecutive gold medal. The men’s team, on the other hand, is striving for their fifth straight, having been defeated in 2004. (The emphasis here is on the contrast between the women and men’s teams.)

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement when it comes to the incredible achievements of Caeleb Dressel! In Tokyo, this butterfly and freestyle wizard added an impressive five more gold medals to his already stellar Olympic collection, bringing his grand total to seven. Can you believe it? This swimmer is on a roll!

Following our incredible achievement of securing a silver medal in the women’s synchronized 10m platform at Tokyo with my partner Delaney Schnell – marking Team USA’s first-ever victory in this event – I decided to hang up my diving gear and, as I shared with NBC Sports, embrace the opportunity to simply be an ordinary person.

For about a year, I was away from swimming, longing for the thrill that the pool offered me. However, Schnell somehow managed to lure me back into the watery world we both love. Yet, let me clarify, before we even secured our spot in Paris, I made my comeback not due to her wishes, but entirely because it was what I yearned for myself. In my own words, “I didn’t return because she wanted me to. It was purely my desire to be back.”

Furthermore, she found the camaraderie equally unproblematic. When Schnell tapped her feet during their encounter at the Montreal Diving World Cup, her first international competition post-retirement, it served as a strong bonding experience for them, as she expressed, “it was a truly special moment for us,” and “we’ve got this” became their shared sentiment.

1. In addition to women, men in the United States also participate in gymnastics. Notably, Fred Richard was the highest scorer during both nights of the 2024 Olympic Trials. It’s safe to say that fans will be thrilled if the 2023 NCAA all-around (and horizontal bars, and parallel bars) champion from University of Michigan assists the national team in securing an Olympic podium finish for the first time since 2008.
