In a major move after the DWTS Tour, Stephen Nedoroscik has decided to continue with his gymnastics career. The double Olympic medalist has officially renewed his contract with EVO Gymnastics and will return to practice under coach Syque Caesar.
After the DWTS Tour came to an end, the 26-year-old gymnast shared glimpses of his return to training on his Instagram profile. Nedoroscik posted on his Instagram account:
“Wasn’t gonna post for the first day back because it was underwhelming and kinda buns BUT SECOND DAY BACK WAS INSANE.”
Stephen Nedoroscik had been unable to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. However, he more than made up for it by winning the gold medal in the pommel horse event at the World Championships in 2021.
Nedoroscik rose through the ranks to make it to the Paris Olympics, where he won the individual bronze at the pommel horse event and contributed to the men's team all-around bronze medal, ending the USA's Olympic drought in this event after 16 years.
