The bespectacled engineer captivated everyone when he secured the first-ever bronze medal for the US mensgymnasticsteam in 16 years.
Elmo was thinking he could be the giggle specialist or maybe a monster-hug specialist.
Elmo will keep thinking!#ParisOlympics, wrote the beloved Muppet.
I think youll be a great specialist in anything you end up choosing!

This is the most wonderful social media conversation I have seen in a very long time.
In 2015, he won his first Junior Olympic National title, acing it again the following year.
Speaking withVogue Magazine, Steve revealed how he prepares before a major competition, both physically and mentally.
In my head, Im reframing whatever fears I may have.
With things like public speaking, Im very anxious.
But the same tools applyI use them there, as well.
