I knew it was over when the spectacles come up off .

We have a new American hero, y’all.

His name is Steve Nedoroscik, and he had one job: pommel horse.

If you aren’t rotting in front of a TV watching Olympic coverage, then you probably don’t know that the US men’s gymnastics team won their first Olympic medal in 16 years.

Paul Juda slayed his vault.

Brody Malone did his thing on the parallel bars.

Frederick Richard demolished that high bar.

And Asher Hong did things I didn’t know were humanly possible on the rings.

But one person came in clutch at the absolute last minute, and that was the guy with the glasses: Steve.

Stephen Nedoroscik only competed in ONE event and he was the literal last competitor. The entire competition was on his shoulders for Team USA.

People are obsessed.

I have always supported this guy since I instruct about him five proceedings ago.https://t.co/WzCjtkBDOH

As this person said, “Taking off your glasses to then perform a near perfect routine on the pommel horse is so freaking metal.”

consider off your glasses to then execute a near stark routine on the pommel horse is so freaking metal

My timeline is full of people talking about him, so here are some of my favorite reactions:

I recognize nothing about gymnastic exercise and here I am living and dying with whether this nerdy guy in glassful named Steve can pommel that horse . The Olympics are a execration .

To sincerely understand Stephen Nedoroscik ’s nerd certification , you need to know that he is in Paris for the Olympics and post to his insta story about solving a rubik ’s cube in under 10 seconds.pic.twitter.com/2vFygJBifW
