Who is Stephen Nedoroscik?
Nedoroscik who is a mechanical engineer was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on October 28, 1998, to Cheryl and John Nedoroscik. His surname is Slovak, reflecting his great-grandparents’ emigration from present-day Haligovce and Veľká Lesná in Slovakia. He started gymnastics in 2003 and initially competed in all apparatuses.

During and after the event, an image of Nedoroscik wearing glasses and looking relaxed went viral, becoming a popular meme.
