“Don’t worry guys, I can still gymnastics a little,” Stephen Nedoroscik had teased his fans with a little stunt in March 2025, after his lengthy absence from the sport. For how long has he been off the grid? Well, it’s been over nine months now. Our last glimpse of him competing in international gymnastics came in Paris, when he became the 2024 Olympics team and pommel horse bronze medalist. And nationally? We’ve missed him since the 2024 Olympic trials in Minneapolis. But looks like that’s about to change soon. Yes, fans, gym sessions, practices, and full-fledged gymnastics action are set to resume as Nedoroscik just dropped a crucial career update!

We know for a fact that the USA Gymnastics team star Stephen Nedoroscik had been ‘on his toes’ for the major part of 2025. Quite literally, because he advanced to the finals and finished fourth on the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars with his dancing partner Rylee Arnold. But team USA fans have been raring to watch the nation’s first pommel horse world champion, Stephen Nedoroscik, get back in core gymnastics form. Luckily, that wait might be about to end soon.

On May 12, Stephen Nedoroscik, EVO Gymnastics, and the MAG Foundation USA floated a joint Instagram post announcing the gymnast’s return to his club for the 2025 season. Yes, “The Pommel Horse guy” is officially back to training at his club for an action-packed 2025! Here, read the official announcement: “We’re excited to announce that two-time 2024 Olympic bronze medalist and Dancing With The Stars finalist, Stephen Nedoroscik, has renewed his contract and has officially resumed training at EVO Gymnastics!”  

And Nedoroscik’s words? “SO EXCITED TO REJOIN!” he posted on his story. Well, this means big things for USA Gymnastics, and it may have naturally aired a huge sense of relief among the Team USA fans. Of late, a sense of uncertainty existed as Stephen Nedoroscik’s name remained absent from the list of gymnasts confirmed for the upcoming Senior Pan American Championships in June. The Team USA roster features top gymnasts like Asher Hong, Brandon Dang, Taylor Burkhart, and more. But Nedoroscik’s missing name had sparked speculations. But no more, as the guy is now getting on track for a bigger stage: the 2025 U.S. Championships!

Well, it only gets exciting from here, as Nedoroscik’s U.S. Championships record now has a shot at getting better. The former Penn State gymnast was the 2024 U.S. pommel horse champion. In fact, his four national pommel horse titles (2021-24) are tied for the most in the entire American gymnastics history. And with the resumption of his gymnastics training, we might just be at the cusp of getting a fifth one added! But one thing’s sure, Nedoroscik might have to push a little hard this year, as he has been long absent from the mats. So what had he be doing in the meantime, you ask?

Stephen Nedoroscik was up to all kinds of hobbies in 2025

Let’s just say that in 2025, we may have realised that Stephen Nedoroscik’s hobbies range wider than just the Rubick’s cube. Yes, in 2025, the 2-time Olympic medalist Stepehen Nedoroscik proved that he has a knack for board games too, via his exemplary talent in chess. Amid his timeout from gymnastics, he made it to the semis of PogChamps 6, one that got him, “literally sweating.”

But that’s not all. Stephen Nedoroscik even took the internet by storm with his 15-second one-arm handstand video, while he kept touring from coast to coast while cohosting the DWTS live tour. But guess it’s time to get back into gymnastics in full swing. However, getting back into form right away? That might not be possible as Nedoroscik informed us 6 days back, “Wasn’t gonna post for the first day back because it was underwhelming and kinda buns.”

Yes, he didn’t have a brilliant first day back on his OG apparatus. But, guess what? It only gets better from here on! Are you excited to watch him on the mats? Let us know below!
