Gymnastics' new maneuver: The Dick move Empty Gymnastics' new maneuver: The Dick move

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.
