RIO DE JANEIRO—There is at least one award in Olympic gymnastics that’s not made of gold, silver or bronze: Anyone who nails a move for the first time in the history of the sport will leave Rio with that maneuver named in his or her honor.

One of the newest, officially sanctioned moves in gymnastics, for example, was approved by the International Gymnastics Federation last year as a “change-leg leap to free-cross split sit.” But it’s already known around the sport by the surname of its inventor—in part because that’s how she referred to the mount in an Instagram video.

“Behold,” she wrote. “The Dick.”

Marisa Dick, a Canadian-born gymnast representing Trinidad and Tobago, may only have one day here to show off “The Dick.” She likely won’t make it out of Olympic qualifying Sunday, and Dick winning a single medal would be as stunning as three-time world champion Simone Biles not winning several. Dick finished 74th on the beam event at the most recent world championships, where she unveiled her eponymous move, and that meant she left the competition with a different prize: her name in the sport’s official Code of Points.

“It’s one of those things,” Dick said this week, “that lives on forever in the gymnastics world.”
