Paris Olympics: The U.S. men’s gymnastics team won a medal! Stephen Nedoroscik, the glasses guy, clinched it.

Slate  

This is part of Slate’s 2024 Olympics coverage. He also just helped put the Stars and Stripes on the medal podium in men’s gymnastics for the first time since Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house. To appreciate the full extent of Nedoroscik’s most recent triumph—and that of his four teammates, Fred Richard, Paul Juda, Asher Hong, and Brody Malone—you should probably also understand the U.S. men’s program’s fraught history with this sport, given that it receives markedly less media attention than women’s artistic gymnastics does. The bronze medal was suddenly very literally the U.S. team’s to lose—on the event where the literal best gymnasts the world has ever seen have choked. Most importantly, this medal has redeemed the U.S. men’s gymnastics program as world-class, because many of these guys are young and, health willing, you will see them on a medal podium again.
