He took off those glasses, and the rest was history*.
*Team USA hadn't medaled in the team competition in 16 years.
Today, he competed in the pommel horse final, and the man did not disappoint.

Steve did as Steve does. He locked in, took those glasses off, and killed his routine.

As this reporter said, "The legend of Pommel Horse Guy grows."

I know nothing about gymnastics and here I am living and dying with whether this nerdy guy in glasses named Steve can pommel that horse. The Olympics are a curse.
