Before the Rio Olympic's Started

An Olympic boxer from Morocco has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two women in the Olympic Village, Rio de Janeiro police say.

Hassan Saada, a 22-year-old competing in the 81-kilogram category, was arrested on Friday morning on allegations that he assaulted two maids who worked at the Village.

"According to investigations, on August 3 the athlete sexually assaulted two Brazilian room cleaners who were working in the athletes' village," a police statement released hours ahead of the Games' opening ceremony said.

The comments at the end from the Wall Street Journal Article though. LOL

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/gymna ... 41845.html

Gymnast Marisa Dick has created a tricky move with a trickier name
Jay Busbee,Fourth-Place Medal

Image
Trinidad and Tobago gymnast Marisa Dick. (AP)

For gymnasts competing in major competitions such as the Olympics, there are two routes to immortality: You can win a medal, or you can pull off a move never before done in competition. The first gets you some of the most prized hardware on earth. The second gets the move named for your surname, forevermore.

Image

For instance, here’s the list of moves named for United States gymnasts. They include The Church, The Fontaine and, of course, The McNamara; that’s a “jump to clear support on high bar, immediate clear hip circle (circle backward without hips touching bar) to handstand with 180 degree turn in handstand phase on high bar,” but you knew that.

Image

For most gymnasts, that’s an honor beyond compare. But as The Wall Street Journal notes, for Trinidad and Tobago’s Marisa Dick, it’s, well … it’s a bit more than that. Marisa, you see, has already created a new move approved by the International Gymnastics Federation.

Image Oh my goodness!!! Is this real life?!?! Opening Ceremonies Rio Instagram/marisadick

Its technical name is a “a change-leg leap to free-cross split sit.”

Its colloquial name is, yes … “The Dick.”

You can see The Dick at the 10-second mark below. (Yes, we are referring to the gymnastics move. This video is perfectly safe for work.)



Now, Marisa has heard all the jokes, and takes them in stride. The International Gymnastics Federation expects you to stop laughing – stop laughing now! – and focus on more than juvenile humor. “We would like to underline that there are more spectacular new elements expected than her new move,” the organization said in a statement to The WSJ. “We guess last time it makes the buzz only because of her name.”

Image
I miss you and the sand between my toes Instagram/marisadick

Marisa has figured out a possible twist on … sorry! alteration to … er, let’s say “variation on” The Dick that could be construed as an entirely new move. We’re sure that everyone can come up with a suitably catchy name, but it would just be called “The Dick II.”

She’ll have the opportunity to compete Sunday, and as she’s not expected to medal, that could be Marisa’s only chance to show … uh, to perform in the Olympics. We’re all pulling … no, wait … we all wish for the best for her. Yes. Let’s go with that.

The Gymnastics Move That Must Not Be Named
Any gymnast who invents a technical element becomes its namesake—which is why things are slightly awkward for Marisa Dick

By Ben Cohen
Updated Aug. 6, 2016 9:48 a.m. ET
48 COMMENTS

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.”

The only problem with The Dick is something few gymnasts encounter: It’s the rare technical element that makes fans bashful. Even a tongue-twister like “The Zamolodchikova” is easier to say in polite company. What should be one of the proudest moments of Dick’s gymnastics career instead makes people awkward.

By now, Dick has heard all the jokes. “I’ve just made it so easy for everyone,” she said. “Especially because it’s on the beam. And I land on the split.”

Even the international governing body of gymnastics can get a little testy when it comes to The Dick. “We would like to underline that there are more spectacular new elements expected than her new move,” an organization spokeswoman wrote in an email. “We guess last time it makes the buzz only because of her name.”

There may be more buzz soon. While training for Rio, Dick made a tweak to her infamous mount, and immediately realized what it would mean if she landed this enhanced move at the Olympics. “Oh my goodness,” she said. “I can get another one named after me!”
‘The Dick’ begins at the 10-second mark

She unveiled that technical element—a switch leap with a half-pirouette that lands in a split on the beam—during Olympic podium training Thursday night in near anonymity as the U.S. gymnasts practiced nearby. But it didn’t matter that most people missed it, because new moves can only be added into the sport’s Code of Points once they are performed in a sanctioned competition. And she already knows what she will call the sequel if she pulls it off in Olympic qualifying Sunday.

“The Dick II,” she said.

There will be no problem calling the move "The Dick" as long as PC rules are strictly followed. Use of the term must be preceded by a trigger warning and not allowed in safe spaces.

Here's the PC-approved, official format that must be used in the Code of Points, Olympic Gymnastics Committee:

"(Trigger Warning) "The Dick"*
*(not to be used in library safe spaces on penalty of sanction for micro-aggression. Use alternative "The Richard" in such places.

If the move is extremely difficult, they should call it the Tricky Dick. Or the hard Dick. As she's on the beam and preparing to do the move, will the announcers say 'She's going to attempt the Dick?' Or the announcers could say 'Boy, that Dick is really hard'.


Okay, I'll stop, but I hope I made you laugh or cringe.
