Nedoroscik drew comparisons to Clark Kent and Superman after he took his glasses off just before performing his routine.

“I will definitely take that,” he told NBC’s “TODAY Show.” “In a way, it is kind of like that. You know, I’m a goofy guy with the glasses on, but as soon as I take them off, I’m locked in. I’m ready to go.”

Turns out Nedoroscik is also a wizard at the Rubik’s Cube.

“I do like to make the argument that one thing that happens when you solve your next cube is it helps you stay in the moment,” Nedoroscik said on “In the Village” podcast with Elizabeth Beisel. “I know how to talk when I do it, but all the way through you have to make sure you’re watching every piece. Gymnastics is kind of the same thing. You have to stay in the moment doing every skill.”
