Turns out everyone's favorite new Superman has already found his Lois Lane.
While the world was recently captivated by gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik—the bespectacled pommel horse specialist for the U.S. men's team at the 2024 Olympics—his girlfriend Tess McCracken has been stanning him and his Clark Kent glasses for the better part of eight years.
"History = Made," McCracken wrote on Instagram after witnessing her longtime love do his thing in Paris, clinching the bronze for his teammates Brody Malone, Frederick Richard, Asher Hong and Paul Juda.. "The most insane, magical day watching you close it out to bring home the first team medal for USA in sixteen years. Words can’t capture how proud I am of you."
Because the retired gymnast has been on hand for Nedoroscik's heroics from the beginning, the athletes meeting ahead of their freshman year at Penn State.
"Four years ago I had my entire collegiate experience ahead of me," he wrote following their 2020 graduation, marking their Fourth of July anniversary. "Little did I know I had already found my favorite part about college."
Together, the pair stuck the landing throughout their college careers.
Texas-born McCracken—a specialist on balance beam, uneven bars and floor who trained with Simone Biles' coaches Cecile Canqueteau-Landi and Laurent Landi—was named a nominee for the AAI Award, given to the nation's most outstanding senior.
And though the 26-year-old abruptly retired from the sport her senior year amid the coronavirus outbreak—"Gymnastics, I’ll miss you, but this is just goodbye for now, not goodbye forever. I’ll be back to play someday soon," she wrote in a March 14, 2020 Facebook post—she's continued to suit up for her man.
Celebrating his spot on the 2024 Olympic squad, Nedoroscik—the 2021 World Champion and a two-time NCAA National Champion in the pommel horse event—praised his "beautiful cheerleader" McCracken.
"I couldn't have done it without you," the Worcester, Mass. native wrote on Instagram July 1. "I love you."
Of course, he wouldn't have to, Florida-based McCracken joining the 25-year-old in Paris where he slipped off his specs and steadily nailed his signature event.
Weeks earlier, she recognized their July 4 anniversary, noting in true Swiftie fashion that she's loved him for eight summers "now, honey, but I want ‘em all. Happy Anniversary, my love. What an amazing adventure we’re having."
Of course, they're not the only pair celebrating. We dare you not to let your eyes well up reading about all the historic moments that have taken place in Paris so far.
The Olympian made history as the first Romanian man to win a gold medal for swimming when he took home the top prize in the 200m freestyle event.
Just call it an American victory story! In scoring a bronze on July 29, the Team USA swimmer became the first man to win a 100m backstroke medal in three consecutive Olympics since 1972.
The prize was the latest addition to his already-impressive medal collection, which includes a bronze from Tokyo 2020 and a gold from the Rio de Janeiro Games 2016 for the same event.
The Australian swimmer set an Olympic record with a time of 1:53.27 in women’s 200m freestyle, beating out defending champ and teammate Ariarne Titmus for the gold.
No other gymnast except Simone Biles has ever performed a double layout with a half-twist—a difficult move aptly dubbed "Biles I"—at the Olympics until Heron came along.
The Panamanian athlete successfully landed it while competing against the stunt's namesake during the gymnastics qualifier.
Team Canada scored its first gold medal in judo thanks to Deguchi, who defeated Republic of Korea's Huh Mimi in a heated July 29 match.
By winning a gold medal in K1, the canoeist became the first Australian athlete to win four consecutive Olympic medals in the same event—having taken home bronze at Tokyo 2020 and at Rio de Janeiro 2016, as well as silver in London 2012.
She is now tied with Slovakia's Michal Martikán as the most-decorated Olympic slalom paddler.
In her first-ever Summer Games, the American swimmer broke the Olympic record in the 100m butterfly semifinal with a time of 55.38 seconds.
South Sudan—the youngest country in the world—made its Olympics debut on July 28, with their men's basketball team playing against Puerto Rico.
The South Sudan Bright Stars won their first-ever Olympic game with a final score of 90-79.
For the first time in Olympic history, Jordan was represented in men's gymnastic when Abu Al-Soud competed on the pommel horse. He finished with a score of 12.466 during the qualification round.
Syria also saw its first male gymnast compete in the Olympics during the Paris Summer Games, with Najjar raising the bar in the all-around event.
Stephen Nedoroscik, Frederick Richard, Brody Malone, Paul Juda and Asher Hong won Team USA's first medal in men's gymnastics in 16 years, earning a bronze.
The basketball player made history as the first Black flagbearer for Greece during the Opening Ceremony.
The track and field star, who turned 16 in January, "etched his name" in history, according to Team USA, when he became the youngest male athlete to make 4x400m relay squad.
As for the youngest athlete in any sport to make Team USA? That'll be Rivera, who turned 16 just weeks before she was selected to join the women's gymnastics team.
