"I’m soaking it all in, you know, and I can’t even like, fully soak it all in yet. Like, it’s still just surreal to me. I wake up in the morning, I’m like, ‘oh my gosh, I’m a two-time Olympic medalist.’ It is so cool. And I’m just honoured to represent my country out here and I’m so happy with what I’ve done."

"When I was real little, I am talking like, basically before I could walk, I was already climbing up the walls in my house, scaring the baby sitters. So, it didn’t take long for my parents to say, let’s put him in one of those preschool gyms. So that’s what they did. And my first day there I climbed a 15 foot rope at the of age four. So that’s kind of where the monkey boy name came from. And immediately I get started recruited to join the gymnastics team. And it didn’t take very long for me to start to really show my skill in pommel horse, So over the years, I’ve just gotten better and better at that event."

"Even just last week, for the first time, I met someone else who has the same eye condition as me, I have coloboma. And this young boy came up to me with his mom and she introduced him and said, ‘hey he’s never met someone with the same eye disease as him and he really wanted to meet you.’ So, it’s really awesome being able to meet someone, because it also my first time meeting someone outside my family that has that disease. So it was so cool to see that and he was just so happy. I gave him a pin."

STORYLINE:
Stephen Nedoroscik is leaning into his newfound stardom as a geeky, bespectacled, Rubik’s-Cube-solving video gamer who just won two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics.
“It’s still just surreal to me. I wake up in the morning, I’m like, oh my gosh, I’m a two-time Olympic medalist! It is so cool,” he told The Associated Press. With both medals hanging around his neck, he beamed and laughed as he marvelled at his rise to fame and the attention his specialty in gymnastics is receiving.
He’s gone from “monkey boy” to “horse guy” and says his background studying engineering at Penn State University is crucial to his success.
