After a hectic 2024, some of Team USA's best men's gymnasts, including Stephen Nedoroscik, and Fred Richard, have returned to training ahead of the 2025 season. The athletes attended the USA Gymnastics men's senior and level 10 national team camp.

For American men's gymnasts, 2024 has been a particularly rewarding year. The team of Nedoroscik, Richard, Asher Hong, Paul Juda, and Brody Malone clinched bronze at the Paris Olympics, the nation's first team medal at the Games in 16 years. Nedoroscik later went on to win the pommel horse bronze individually, post which he made an appearance on the reality TV show Dancing With The Stars.

Now, the pommel horse specialist, alongside his fellow Team USA gymnasts, has returned to training, participating in a national team camp. The official USA Gymnastics account on Instagram shared snaps from the team camp on the social media platform, writing,

“Back in the swing of things. Men's senior and level 10 national team camp.”

Outside of Stephen Nedoroscik and Fred Richard, the national team camp also featured 2024 NCAA pommel horse champion Patrick Hoopes, Olympian Shane Wiskus, and NCAA high bar champion Tate Costa amongst others.

For Stephen Nedoroscik, his Olympic debut couldn't have gone better. He began his time in Paris by helping the USA claim bronze in the team events, before qualifying for the pommel horse final. In the finals, the American finished behind Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan and Kazakhstan’s Nariman Kurbanov to make it onto the podium.

Reflecting on his campaign at the Games, Nedoroscik wrote on Instagram,

“My Olympic Games is complete and what a journey it's been. We came here on a mission to put USA Men's Gymnastics back on the map and with the first team medal in 16 years I think we've accomplished just that. My goal was to be the best for my team and I found myself lucky enough to perform in the Pommel Horse final.”

“Without a doubt the most stacked Pommel Horse final in history, and I managed to grab a piece of the podium placing third Games. at my first Olympic. Thank you to everybody who has supported me throughout my journey. I am just a man shaped by those who surround me, I couldn't have done it without any of you. Onto the next chapter... #2028,” he added.

After the Paris Olympics, Stephen Nedoroscik skyrocketed to fame and went on to make an appearance in the dance reality show Dancing With The Stars, where he reached the finals and partnered with Rylee Arnold.
