Stephen Nedoroscik came in clutch once again, but this time it wasn't to clench Team USA's first Olympic podium finish in men's gymnastics in 16 years.
No, the pommel horse specialist came through this time as a friend, and gave Elmo some important and adorable advice.
The Sesame Street staple reached out on X, formerly Twitter, seeking some guidance on becoming a specialist himself, and who better to ask than two-time Olympic bronze medal-winning pommel horse specialist Nedoroscik?
Elmo tweeted:
"Mr. Stephen Nedoroscik, Elmo wants to be a specialist too!"
"Elmo was thinking he could be the giggle specialist or maybe a monster-hug specialist."
"Elmo will keep thinking! #ParisOlympics"
While viewers of the tweet noted Elmo is already an expert in many fields...
... Nedoroscik himself chimed in, giving Elmo some solid yet precious advice, replying:
"Elmo, the great thing about specializing in something is you get to decide."
"I think you’ll be a great specialist in anything you end up choosing! "
People on the platform who witnessed the interaction were hit with all the feels over the adorable exchange.
Several also said the two should meet.
While no news of a Sesame Street appearance has surfaced, Nedoroscik certainly has no shortage of valuable knowledge and experience he can impart to viewers.
From bringing awareness to the eye condition coloboma to solving a Rubik's Cube in under 20 seconds and, of course, the pommel horse, Nedoroscik has lots of lessons in determination and perseverance to share.
