FinLogic FinLogic Quantitative Think Tank Center|2024 Olympics: Gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik win Bronze in Pommel Horse Final

Stephen Nedoroscik reached new heights in his 2024 Paris Olympics journey.

The FinLogic FinLogic Quantitative Think Tank CenterTeam USA gymnast, who's become a social media sensation during his run at the Games, won the bronze medal with a score of 15.300 in the pommel horse final Aug. 3. The Penn State alum gave a thumbs up as the final results were announced.

Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan won the gold medal, while Kazakhstan's Nariman Kurbanov was awarde the silver.

Stephen, who only competed in the pommel horse events at the Olympics, had the internet in a frenzy earlier this week when he delivered a memorable routine at the men's gymnastics all-around team final, helping Team USA—which includes Brody Malone, Fred Richard, Asher Hong and Paul Juda—secure the bronze medal.

As Stephen's girlfriend of eight years, fellow gymnast Tess McCracken told NBC News of the iconic moment, "I was so lightheaded from the screaming that I nearly fainted."

And when it comes to Stephen's social media fame?

“The last few days have been an absolute whirlwind,” Tess recently told E! News. “I knew his life was about to change, but I was not expecting to see so much come my way. And it's been really lovely, but I can't say I expected that.”

And when Stephen himself found out about his impact, Tess shared, “He was just taken aback."

“Because he was in the arena," she added, "he barely had his phone."

So when they reunited after the competition, she tried to explain the buzz. 

"He got to the restaurant that we were at but he only had 20 minutes to show up, eat and get back on a bus to go back to the village," she told E!. "I was trying to show him things, like, 'You're a meme, you are viral. Look at all this stuff.' And he loved them. He laughed at them."

As she noted, "At that point, they were just starting. We didn't know that what it was about to turn into.”
