A gymnast from Team USA ‘rawdogged’ his way through an Olympic event, staggering spectators. Indeed, it is the surprising crossover that no one anticipated.The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have only just begun,x
yet already *a lot* has transpired, including the ‘blue scrotum’ performance during the opening ceremony and the dismissal of a pundit for a sexist remark.
An American icon and the “Clark Kent of the Olympics” are two terms that describe the athlete that has spectators most enthralled.
Introducing Stephen Nedoroscik, a pommel horse specialist and part of the United States national gymnastics team.
In addition to helping the men’s team earn their first Olympic medal in artistic gymnastics in sixteen years, 25-year-old Nedoroscik utterly dominated Monday’s event (29 July).
Thus, Nedoroscik is a hero as one would expect. What makes the incident more memorable, however, is that he ‘rawdogged’ it The Olympic Games are no picnic, and we get that.
Just in case you were wondering, “rawdogging” is the term for the latest craze in air travel—individuals boarding long-haul flights with nothing but their minds. The majority of us prefer to engross themselves in a book, several movies, or music when in the air.
After all, if we pause for an extended period without any diversions, we risk being preoccupied with the fact that we are in the air. However, not even water is permitted while raw dogging an airplane.
It’s rather extreme. Rawdogging her way back from Mykonos really had some concerning after effects for one unfortunate lady.
Some have speculated that Nedoroscik “rawdogged” his Olympic race since he chose not to wear his spectacles, despite his outstanding performance.
Nedoroscik has strabismus, an irregular alignment of the eyes (sometimes called cross-eyed), thus it may not be a huge concern if he were to wear contacts just during a sports event.
Additionally, he has a coloboma, which is a hole in one of the eye’s structures, and he lives with it.Because of this, Nedoroscik has previously said that he is photophobic, or very sensitive to light.
The sportsman said that he takes his spectacles off so they don’t fall off when he stated he is “representing people that wear glasses well” in an interview with TODAY.
When asked about his vision during competitions without his spectacles, Nedoroscik explained: “It’s not necessarily clear, but the thing about pommel horse is if I keep them on, they’re gonna fly somewhere.”.
I rely on my sense of touch the most while mounting the pommel horse. When I’m doing gymnastics, I can hardly see. Because I have complete tactile perception, it’s all in my hands.
People were astounded after seeing Nedoroscik compete on Monday. An X user expressed their dismay at seeing him remove and reapply his spectacles during competition, writing, “As a glasses wearer its so deeply chaotic to me.” I can relate.
This is Pommel Horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik. He didn’t move from his spot for two hours while he simply waited for his one special moment.

When they’re not there, can he see? How is he blindfolded while he raw dogs the Olympic pommel horse?!?”
Although someone else added, “Stephen Nedoroscik has my whole heart.” A third person said: “Obsessed with this guy on the US men’s gymnastics team who’s only job is pommel horse,
so he just sits there until he’s activated like a sleeper agent, whips off his glasses like Clark Kent and does a pommel horse routine that helps deliver the team its first medal in 16 years.”
