Simone Biles has made a stunning comeback at the Paris 2024 Olympics, capturing gold with the US gymnastics team.
Biles’s Journey to Paris
On July 30, Simone and her teammates clinched the top spot. Her incredible journey is detailed in Simone Biles Rising, directed by Katie Walsh. The series, particularly Episodes 3 and 4, showcases her challenges and triumphs as she secures her place on the US Olympic Team during the 2024 Trials, followed by her remarkable performances in Paris, cementing her status as the most decorated gymnast ever.
The Tokyo Withdrawal
Back in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, many were stunned when Simone pulled out of several events. She had been the favorite for multiple golds, but she prioritized her mental well-being over competing. Now, four years later, Simone Biles Rising chronicles her return to the sport she loves.
This series is produced by Gotham Chopra, Ameeth Sankaran, Giselle Parets, Janey Miller, JT Taylor, Yiannis Exarchos, Jérôme Parmentier, and David Herren.
Fans can catch Simone Biles Rising on Netflix and look forward to Part Two on Oct. 25.
It’s amazing to see such a strong comeback!
