Nedoroscik sat in the agonizing bronze-medal position with one more competitor to go in the pommel horse final, unable to do anything but sit and watch.
The set up was an about face from Nedoroscik’s hero-making turn during the men’s team final.
Then the pommel horse specialist waited the entire meet before performing his routine, the last man up on any apparatus.
Stephen Nedoroscik finishes his pommel horse routine in the final and the crowd goes WILD!
Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan, the gold medalist, is a two-time World Champion and Max Whitlock of Great Britain has won the last two Olympic golds on pommel horse.
