American Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik brought his signature pommel horse to Dancing With The Stars, where he and his dance partner, Rylee Arnold, were joined by his USA men's gymnastics teammates. Nedoroscik joined season 33 of the popular reality TV show following his Paris Olympics campaign.

After weeks of captivating fans, the 26-year-old gymnast and his dance partner Arnold took to the stage one last time in the finale on Tuesday, November 26. For the final round, the contestants were required to perform two routines that included a Redemption Round and a Freestyle Round. For their Redemption Round, the duo danced to "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts and earned 29 points.

Later, during the Freestyle Round, Stephen Nedoroscik decided to showcase his pommel horse skills with help from his USA men's gymnastics teammates as they performed on Coldplay's "Viva La Vida." This routine also earned him his first perfect score of 30 for the season. Their freestyle round was shared by KaMorian (Sparkling Alien) on their X handle (formerly Twitter):
