Penn State alumnus Stephen Nedoroscik, one of the breakout stars of the Olympics who became known as the “pommel horse guy” on social media thanks to his skill on the apparatus, and fellow men’s bronze medalists Brody Malone, Frederick Richard, and Paul Juda also will join the tour. Juda and Richard will compete Wednesday in the all-around final, and Nedoroscik will compete Saturday in the pommel horse final.

Other gymnasts on the tour include Katelyn Ohashi, who went viral for her high-energy floor routines at UCLA, and Joscelyn Roberson, one of the Olympic alternates for Team USA.

The event is advertised as a high energy, pop concert-style spectacle that will show off the skills of some of the world’s best gymnasts. Tickets are available starting at $50 at goldoveramericatour.com.
