"Was informed this is how I watch men’s gymnastics," Gardner says of her excited reaction. Perhaps she was witnessing the inception of pommel horse king Stephen Nedoroscik's routine?

Just before leaving for Paris, Nwodim told PEOPLE, "If Steph is playing on the days that I'm there, I'm absolutely going to show up for him," of the 36-year-old gold medalist. Nwodim also shared that she's been "getting into basketball" recently.

"I've spent the last year trying to learn more about the sport, and I went to Steph's shooting practice while we were shooting Mr. Throwback on our last day," said Nwodim.
