About
The switch leap 1/2 to a sit split in cross position is Marisa Dick’s second eponymous beam mount, this one named after her at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. It follows in the footsteps of the version without 1/2 turn that she got named at the world championship the year prior. At D (0.4) value, it is tied for the most difficult beam mount that can be counted as a dance element.

Of course, no one cares about that because DICCCCCCCKKKKKKK. The Dick mounts gained international acclaim in both 2015 and 2016 because “You guys lolz there’s a thing in gymnastics called The Dick Move lolz,” even though no one would ever actually call it that. We don’t add the word “move” to the end of named elements. This isn’t an Applebee’s.

Now, we would potentially call it the Dick Mount, which is actually funnier, but you missed that opportunity, four-year-internet. You missed it hard.

Also, dicks.

What we should really be complaining about is that the only footage of this historic, skill-naming moment is a partial close-up that cuts in the middle. Unacceptable.
