Stephen Nedoroscik celebrates one-year anniversary of the moment that shaped his journey

Olympic champion Stephen Nedoroscik reflected on a major milestone in his career. The American gymnast celebrated the first anniversary of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team announcement.

Around this time last year, the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials concluded, finalizing the roster of athletes who were selected to represent the United States at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The women’s team featured Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera. Joscelyn Roberson and Leanne Wong served as alternates.

The men’s team included Asher Hong, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Stephen Nedoroscik and Frederick Richard, with Shane Wiskus and Khoi Young serving as alternates. Malone made his second Olympic appearance, while the other four competed for the first time.

On June 30, Nedoroscik shared a special note marking one year since the U.S. Paris Olympic Gymnastics Team Announcement by resharing a post from @usagym, which featured highlights from the announcement ceremony. The original post read:

“📌 June 30, 2024. One year ago, we named our U.S. Olympic Team & the rest is history!”

Stephen Nedoroscik reshared the post, writing:

“One year ago, my Olympic dream came true.”
