The Olympics will now be rewarding points for “The Dick Move,” courtesy of gymnast Marisa Dick. The 18-year-old debuted her very distinctive balance beam mount at the World Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, last fall. Now the move has her name and has been added to the official Code of Points that are used to rank the athletes for each level of competition in gymnastics.
Marisa — who has duel Trinidad and Canadian citizenship — performs her Dick Move by leaping off a springboard to land on the balance beam in a perfectly-balanced split with legs extended and toes pointed.
Dick is rightfully proud of her move. “It’s super cool to know that my name will kind of live on in the world of gymnastics,” she said. “It was one of my biggest goals going into [the] Worlds, to get this move named after myself.”
There’s a video that shows the move and has more detail, as seen on her Instagram account. You can also see her do the Dick Move below. We guess you could call it the Dick Maneuver or the Dick Mount, but that sounds kind of dirty…
