Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik, the bronze medal-winning gymnast who became known as “pommel horse guy” and Clark Kent for his thick, black-framed glasses, is going to try to parlay his medal into a mirrorball. He is the first celebrity announced for the upcoming 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars.
The 25-year-old athlete appeared today on Good Morning America for the announcement and said he wants to bring some of his gymnastics moves to the dance floor. He added, “I want to bring some flares, I want to bring some of that gymnastics. Maybe a back flip or hand stand. I want to have fun with it.” As for whether he’ll wear his glasses while dancing he says, “Yeah, I might have fun with it. I’m scared they’ll fly off is the thing, but maybe we could do a gadget to keep them or maybe a new pair of glasses to match the theme, right. That’s what I’m thinking.” (People)
