Although this wasn't my best meet due to dislocating my rib the day before in training, I'm thankful I was able to push through and have a pretty great meet. The highlight of my experience at the 46th world championships in Glasgow was getting this skilled named after myself. At my first worlds in 2013 I witnessed @victoriamoors_ , @simonebiles , @silvia_cp17 and a few others achieve and submit a brand new skill into the FIG code of points, what a legacy. Theirs, mine and so many others names will forever be recognized in the gymnastics world. I would like to thank all my friends, family, supporters and most of all, all my coaches that have helped me get to where I am today. Without you guys pushing me and looking up to me I would not have made it this far. I love you guys❤️ Always set dreams and goals for yourself no matter how big or how hard they seem, if you want it bad enough you will achive it. My biggest goal since 2013 was to submit a skill in the FIG code of points My biggest dream since I was old enough to know what it was is to go to the Olympic Games #rio2016OlympicGames Congratulations to my teammate @themarttt , you had the best meet of your life and what a competition to do that at! You have grown and improved so much as an athlete even in the last few years that we have been teammates. We did this together! Behold..... The Dick

Meet “The Dick.” It’s gymnastics’ newest recognized skill and you’re sure to see it at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics this summer. It’s a difficult maneuver that involves leaping off a springboard, scissoring the legs and landing in the splits -- all on a balance beam. The move’s creator, Trinidad and Tobago gymnast Marisa Dick is understandably over the moon.

“My biggest goal since 2013 was to submit a skill in the FIG code of points [...] Behold ... The Dick.”

Sure it may sound funny. Perhaps it’ll embarrass you in front of your grandma when you’re watching the Olympics, but this is a seriously cool move and if that means we giggle a little at “The Dick,” so be it. At least it’s memorable.
