USA gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik became an internet sensation during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Nedoroscik's specialty is the pommel horse, which is basically a padded block with two handles on top. Gymnasts hold onto the handles and swing their legs around in circles, using a lot of strength and control to keep everything smooth and steady.
After his epic performance in this exercise during the team final, which secured Team USA a bronze medal, Nedoroscik became known as the "pommel horse guy."
The 25-year-old from Sarasota, Florida, also went viral for his resemblance to popular comic book character Clark Kent, known to many as Superman.
But Nedoroscik has another skill that fans would find impressive. On Tuesday's episode of " The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ," he made a guest appearance and showed off his Rubik's cube skills

A Rubik's cube is a difficult puzzle made up of six sides, each with smaller colored squares. The goal is to get each side back to one solid color by twisting and turning the cube. Nedoroscik was able to complete this puzzle on the late-night show in just 15.42 seconds.
Many fans were impressed with Nedoroscik's secondary skill and took to social media to leave their thoughts.
"I’ve watched Fallon for the past 2 years every night. This is my favorite guest he’s had on. So hard to dislike this guy. And the fact he’s not only a 2x Olympic medalist, but can solve a Rubik’s cube in 15 seconds is unbelievable. What a legend"
"just another day for (Steve)"
"I love this kid! He’s so Clark Kent!"
"Rubik cube master, dang !"
"Haha I love this geek! Steve is the best!"
"This guy is an absolute legend. So unbelievably likable"
Nedoroscik brought home two bronze medals from Paris. In the team final, Team USA came in third with a total score of 257.793. In the pommel horse final, Nedoroscik secured a final score of 15.300, good for third place as well.
