Nedoroscik said on \"GMA\" that he hopes to bring some of his pommel horse moves into the ballroom.
\"I want to bring some of that gymnastics -- maybe a backflip or handstand. I want to have fun with it,\" he said.

Some fans watching his routine dubbed Nedoroscik with the nickname \"Clark Kent\" after he removed his glasses moments before jumping into action on the pommel horse, a reference to Superman's signature apparel change.
Nedoroscik has shared on TikTok that he has an eye condition called strabismus, or crossed eyes, which is a misalignment of the eyes that can lead to vision problems, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
When asked if he is planning to dance with his glasses, Nedoroscik shared, \"I might have fun with it -- I'm scared they'll fly off ... maybe we could do a gadget, keep them on. Maybe a new pair of glasses, match the theme, right?\"
He added that he's \"very excited\" to hit the ballroom.
Before his Olympic moment, Nedoroscik graduated from Penn State University in 2020, with a degree in electrical engineering.
According to USA Gymnastics, Nedoroscik has won four U.S. pommel horse titles, tying the record for most pommel horse championships in U.S. history.
