Stephen
Nedoroscik’s
girlfriend
is
just
as
enthralled
by
his
pommel
horsing. 

As
the
Team
USA
gymnast—who
went
viral
for
his

2024
Paris
Olympics
performance
on
the
pommel
horse
during
the
men’s
gymnastics
team
final
July
29—completed
his
routine,
his
partner
of
eight
years,


Tess
McCracken,
was
on
the
edge
of
her
seat. 

“I
was
so
lightheaded
from
the
screaming
that
I
nearly
fainted,”
she
explained
to

NBC
News
in
an
interview
July
30,
noting
she
was
mentally
telling
her
boyfriend,
“‘Stay
on
the
horse.’”

Tess,
26,
who
describes
Stephen,
25,
as
a
“goofy
guy,”
has
been
pleasantly
surprised
by
her
boyfriend’s
claim
to
fame,
noting
she’s
reshared
every
post
she
sees
related
to
the
gymnast. 

“Blowing
up
on
the
internet
has
been
such
an
unexpected
side
effect
of
this
whole
adventure,”
she
added.
“It
has
been
one
of
the
best
times.”

The
Penn
State
alum
was
on
the
sidelines
as
her
boyfriend
helped
the
men’s
gymnastics
team
earn
a
bronze
medal
during
the
team
final—a
first
since
2008.
