American gymnast and Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik will be joining the cast of “Dancing With the Stars” for its upcoming season 33. Nedoroscik gained fame as the “pommel horse guy” during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, where he won a bronze medal with the U.S. Men’s Gymnastics team. He also won an individual bronze medal on the pommel horse. Nedoroscik, who lives with strabismus, uses his platform to support individuals with low vision.
Nedoroscik’s appearance on the show generated comparisons to Clark Kent, as he has been known to compete without his glasses. Despite his vision challenges, he excels in gymnastics by relying on touch and feel rather than sight. The new season of “Dancing With the Stars” will premiere on September 17th on a simulcast on ABC and Disney+, with next-day viewing available on Hulu.
Returning to the show as co-hosts are Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, while the judging panel will consist of Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough. The full cast of celebrities participating in the upcoming season will be revealed at a later date. Nedoroscik’s participation in the show is highly anticipated, as fans are eager to see how his gymnastics skills will translate to the dance floor.
