The Reason Why Stephen Nedoroscik Doesn’t Wear Glasses During His Pommel Horse Routine
He added, “I was like, ‘Let’s just get it done, let’s go for it. If I put this dismount up, team USA gets a medal.’ And I think you could see it, right away when I land: goosebumps, the best moment of my life.”
And his girlfriend could not be prouder. “I was so lightheaded from the screaming that I nearly fainted,” Tess McCracken, 26, told NBC News July 30, noting she was mentally telling Nedoroscik, “‘Stay on the horse.’”
Describing the athlete as a “goofy guy,” McCracken also expressed support for her boyfriend’s newfound fame as a viral star.
“Blowing up on the internet has been such an unexpected side effect of this whole adventure,” she said. “It has been one of the best times.”
