    While Simone Biles, Sumi Lee, and the USA women's gymnastics team stole the show in Paris, the men also did their part. On Monday, the USA men's team made headlines by winning the bronze medal, marking the first time they have earned a medal in the Olympics since 2008.

    The team consisted of Asher Hong, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Stephen Nedoroscik, and Frederick Richard. But it was Nedoroscik's unreal pommel horse routine that secured the third-place finish and sent them to the podium to grab the bronze medal on Monday, sendin the fans into celebration mode for the first time in 16 years.

    As such, Nedoroscik earned a new nickname, with people calling him "Clark Kent."

    NBC posted about Nedoroscik's nickname, and fans agreed with the new moniker.

    One fan wrote on X, "Stephen Nedoroscik is like Clark Kent, but when he takes off his glasses, he's Superman on the pommel horse. USA wins bronze!"

    Another fan chimed in, "OK, Stephen Nedoroscik, the US men's gymnastics pommel horse specialist, has these thick-rimmed glasses. He takes them off when he does pommel. Is anyone else thinking Clark Kent/Superman vibes?"

    Nedoroscik is just 25 years old and has instantly become a household name in the USA men's gymnastics team after his bronze-medal-winning performance.
