Overview
- USA Curling shared a split-screen Instagram video of the 2024 Paris bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik praising curler Aidan Oldenburg and joking about being a plus-one on the team.
- Oldenburg responded in the post by thanking Nedoroscik and proposing a lesson swap, offering curling tips in exchange for a gymnastics tutorial.
- The viral exchange confirmed they are different athletes after fans noted Oldenburg’s striking resemblance to the well-known “Pommel Horse Guy.”
- Oldenburg, a 24-year-old Minnesotan and the U.S. men’s lead under skip Danny Casper, works as an environmental scientist and is known for juggling and yo-yo skills.
- His red headband has become a signature, with fans wearing their own at watch parties and inside the arena as the U.S. opened round-robin play, including an 8–7 win over Czechia, with Canada up next on Friday.
