The world was stunned when Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, pulled out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Biles returned spectacularly in 2023 and is due to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Her triumphant return and journey have been documented in a four-part series that will be seen exclusively on Netflix in July 2024.
Simone Biles: Rising is an upcoming Netflix Original sports documentary chronicling the emotional and physical journey of Olympic gymnast Simon Biles’s return to competition.
Katie Walsh, the series director, already worked with Biles on the 2024 documentary Simone vs. Herself, where she was a supervising series producer.
