Marisa Dick (born 26 May 1997) is a Trinidad and Tobago female artistic gymnast, representing her nation at international competitions. She competed at world championships, including the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.[1] At the 2016 Gymnastics Olympic Test Event in April 2016 she qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The young gymnast created history by creating a new signature move on balance beam. The move utilizes a springboard to mount the beam at the beginning of her routine. What is special is that she uses the springboard to launch her into the air and land on the balance beam in a perfect split. The move made it's official debut at the world gymnastics competition held in Glasgow, Scotland. The move known as 'The Dick' has been made official and will now appear in the Code of Points bearing her name.
She has earned the chance to display her move at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
