In order for a new element to be named after a gymnast, It has  to be of C value or higher.

As per the 2022-2024 CoP, in order for a new element/vault to be named after a gymnast it must be:

• Performed internationally for the first time at an official FIG Group 1, 2 or 3 competition (with or without an official FIG TD present).
• C value or higher and performed for DV.
• DV and name will only be confirmed following a TC analysis of the performance.
• If more than one gymnast at the same competition performs the same new element, the element will be named after all gymnasts.
