Nedoroscik went viral during the Games as he patiently waited his turn to compete on the pommel horse during the team final. The broadcast camera captured his intense focus, which quickly became a subject of numerous memes.

Nedoroscik's signature Superman-like transformation before his performances, involving him removing his glasses, further endeared him to viewers.

The Penn State engineering graduate acknowledged the memes, saying, "The memes are hilarious and I'm loving them all."

Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will return as the hosts for the 33rd season of "Dancing With the Stars." It remains to be seen how Nedoroscik will incorporate his iconic glasses into his dance performances.

Nedoroscik, who has an eye condition called coloboma, said, "I might have fun with it. I'm scared they'll fly off... Maybe we could do a gadget, keep them on? Maybe a new pair of glasses, match the theme?"
