gainer
Reverse rotation dive
A gainer is someone or something that gains—increases in value, improves in position, or acquires something beneficial.
In financial contexts, gainers are stocks or investments that have risen in price: Tech stocks were among the day's biggest gainers.
In diving and gymnastics, a gainer is a backward somersault performed while moving forward, so named because the diver gains distance from the board or platform during execution.
