American Olympian Steven Nedoroscik, known for his bronze medal win on the pommel horse at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, made history once again on «The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon» by solving a Rubik’s cube in just 15 seconds.
The 25-year-old athlete caused a sensation in the men’s gymnastics competition at the Games, attracting significant attention and even earning the nickname «Clark Kent» for his scholarly appearance with glasses resembling a superhero. A student at the University of Pennsylvania, Steven once again showcased his skills to the world, competing in solving the colorful cube during an interview with Jimmy Fallon.
Steven shared that he has had this talent since he was 12 years old. During the show, he was called up to demonstrate his skills, and he completed the Rubik’s cube in 15.42 seconds, receiving applause from the crowd.
His talents were not only evident in this fun challenge, but also at the Games in Paris, where he delivered an excellent routine on the pommel horse. With two bronze medals, he helped his team secure victory. Specializing in this specific apparatus, he shared that his years of training began in high school.
«I became really good at the pommel horse, and one of the club coaches came up to me and said, 'I think you can be a national champion someday,' and that inspired me. I started working hard, and, as it turned out, last year I won my first national title on the pommel horse, which led me to the University of Pennsylvania. That’s when I decided to specialize in it», - he shared with former «Saturday Night Live» star.
As the conversation continued, he expressed his thoughts during his performances, especially in moments when he was «nervous», - particularly when executing difficult turns and rotations on the parallel bars.
He knew he had to hold on until the end of his performance, noting in a post-interview with NBC during the Olympics: «Stepping onto the pommel horse, the last competitor in the entire competition, I felt our team was in great shape. I just knew I had to step up there and do my job»
