After earning two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics this summer, U.S. gymnastics pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik is set to take his talents to the dancefloor.
On Thursday’s episode of Good Morning America, Nedoroscik was announced as the first contestant for the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars.
Nedoroscik said on GMA that he plans to bring some of his pommel horse moves to the competition in the ballroom.
“I want to bring some of that gymnastics — maybe a backflip or handstand. I want to have fun with it,” he said.
The 25-year-old’s score on the pommel horse propelled Team USA to a third-place finish in the team competition. He also earned the bronze in the individual pommel horse competition, making him the first American men’s gymnast to medal in the event at the Olympics in eight years. His performance helped turn him into one of the biggest stars of the Paris Games.
Nedoroscik wears corrective glasses for the eye condition strabismus, which is a misalignment of the eyes that can cause vision problems. He was asked on Thursday if he plans to keep his glasses on for his dance routines.
“I might have fun with it — I’m scared they’ll fly off … maybe we could do a gadget, keep them on,” he said. “Maybe a new pair of glasses, match the theme, right?”
The full season 33 cast of Dancing with the Stars will be revealed on Sept. 4 and the season will premiere on Sept. 17.
