His viral online presence earned him the nickname \u201cPommel Horse Guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in 1998, Nedoroscik began gymnastics at age four, driven by his natural athleticism. \u201cI had a crazy good grip strength,\u201d he said. He graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Electrical Engineering and now balances his athletic career with coaching. In 2021, he became the first American to win gold on the pommel horse at the Global Championship in Japan, despite unknowingly competing with a broken hand. \u201cWhat if I told you I won Worlds with a FRACTURED HAND?\u201d he wrote on X.
