Olympic gymnast who trains in Manatee County goes viral after bronze medal performance

A gymnast who trains at a Manatee County gym has gone viral since his performance during the men’s team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Stephen Nedoroscik, a Massachusetts native who trains at Evo Gymnastics in Manatee County, helped Team USA capture the bronze medal, the country’s first since Beijing in 2008.

A pommel horse specialist, Nedoroscik went viral on social media after waiting hours before performing his lone routine in the team final. Posts across several social media platforms, including Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok, have amassed millions of likes, shares and comments.
