U.S. gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, a Penn State alum born in Worcester, Mass., became the Americans’ unassuming savior in the men’s team gymnastics final on Monday.
What makes the 25-year-old athlete stand out is that he only performs one of six events: the pommel horse. Nedoroscik was selected to the U.S. men’s Olympic gymnastics squad earlier this summer solely because of his pommel horse talents, and the gamble ultimately paid off.
