“For the last eight years or so, these legs have done nothing.” Stephen Nedoroscik was very skeptical of his dancing ability until life pleasantly surprised him. He first thought he might mess it up at Dancing With The Stars 2025. But that’s not an option when you are “the Pommel Horse guy“. And then, from uncertainty to finishing the season in the fourth place, Nedoroscik really shook things up. Well, it seems that trend is still ongoing, as this Team USA gymnast has dropped a recent update!

Before Stephen Nedoroscik gave us a glimpse of his ability to shake a leg on Dancing With The Stars season 33, the two-time Olympic bronze medalist gymnast was indeed very nervous. Remember him saying, “I don’t know how good I am at dance, I don’t know how people are going to perceive it, so there is that nervous factor and it’s like oh man this is all new to me…” But episode after episode, we saw him conquer the dance floor. And now, even months after the season’s ended, his wins don’t seem to end!

Yes, on May 29, Stephen Nedoroscik added an Instagram story sharing a major life update. While Dancing With The Stars just won the Critics Choice Best Competition Series award at the Real TV Awards, Stephen Nedoroscik won an individual prize too. He was awarded the Critics Choice Real TV Awards Male Star of the Year! Posting the same over an Instagram story, the pommel horse guy wrote, “Feeling so blessed right now Thank you.” Well, from being the first confirmed celebrity for the DWTS’ most recent season to ending up as the Star of the Year after it, the gymnast has come a long way.

And while this happened, how could Stephen Nedoroscik’s dance partner, Rylee Arnold, stay calm? She commented on the original DWTS post that Nedoroscik reshared, saying, “So deserving I’m so proud 😭” She even added, “YES STEPHEN!!!!!!!! Let’s go!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹” hyping his wins as usual! After all, she has a major role to play in his success on the screen. No wonder, even Nedoroscik gave her a shoutout in his acceptance speech, “I want to give a special thank you to my dance partner….” he said.

Nedoroscik also mentioned how Dancing With the Stars was “so out of” his “comfort zone.” But that’s a reason why he loved it so much. And looks like the audience loved to have him on the show equally. Because the DWTS season 33 in general had its finale rating at 1.14, which in the 18-49 demographic was the best in the last 7 years. But for those who like him best in the gym, don’t be disappointed as a lot is practice sessions seem to be underway.

Stephen Nedoroscik getting in the groove before the World Champs

One after the other, things seem to be falling in place for Stephen Nedoroscik this season. May started with the Paris Olympics 2024 gymnast confirming that he just renewed his contract with his training club, EVO Gymnastics. Then came the big announcement. USA Gymnastics confirmed Nedoroscik for the Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships coming up later this year. But that’s not it. The gymnast has also been taking over the internet with his practice session videos.

Getting back into the gym, Stephen Nedoroscik has been sharing multiple videos practicing on the pommel horse of late. The most recent one was dropped on May 18, where he shared about “gymnastics being hard and scary.” With clips of him falling twice from the apparatus, Nedoroscik showed how everything is “part of the process,” even falling. But well, less than 6 months are now remaining for the World Championships, and Nedoroscik surely is taking it slow and steady. Do you see him getting in his best shape before October?
