At the Paris Olympics, Nedoroscik achieved the Bronze medal for the USA and earned a reputation as a pommel horse expert. In addition to his Olympic success, he has also been crowned a world champion and has won the US national championship four times.

In addition to his impressive list of accomplishments, he currently holds the title of Champion 3 in Rocket League. This places him just one rank below the highest-ranked group, Grand Champion, for reference. It should be noted that he has previously achieved the rank of Grand Champion 1.

According to the Rocket League tracker, Nedoroscik ranks among the top 1.7% of players in the game. Currently, he holds the Champion 3 rank in Ranked 2v2 and is a Champion in both 1v1 and 3v3 matches.

Additionally, he can also be found live streaming on Twitch, providing a unique opportunity to witness an Olympian playing at a level that many of us can only dream of. For those interested, his Twitch channel is a great place to catch him in action.

It has been discovered that Nedoroscik is not the sole athlete on the grand platform who possesses exceptional skills in video games. Dignitas has also recruited Boston Scott, a Running Back for the Los Angeles Rams, as a substitute for their Rocket League team. Furthermore, Luka Doncic, a star player for the Dallas Mavericks, has gained recognition for his passion for Overwatch and even achieved a top 500 ranking in the game.
