I think sometimes that the people who came up with these cool moves were at a disadvantage when first performing them, because it's not like they had someone to teach them the biomechanics of the element in the proper way so that they learned good form and didn't get hurt. They were sort of making it up as they went along.

Disadvantage? I think they indeed were all way more advantaged than the rest of competitors, having a brand new never seen before outstanding move. I think I know what you mean, but understand that they didn't create this in the same performing day, that's why there's something called Practice, to performe it at home as many times as it takes to sharp it and then perform it in the day of days with no fails in technique. And they had an advantage cuz their new moves were more complex

japan's men gymnastics ruled the world at one time , have lots of skills name after them , thanks for upload and sharing it .

you have to submit the new skill, FIG evaluates it, rates its difficulty, then if you perform it successfully in a worlds or olympics (no fall or other huge error) it is named after you. if you perform it, but did not submit it beforehand, it will not be named after you. this happened in the case of Olga Mostepanova, who performed an original skill internationally for several years but did not submit it in her name. the skill was consequently named Onodi rather than Mostepanova.
