Simone Biles’ incredible performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she claimed three gold and one silver medal, will be highlighted in the final episodes of her Netflix docuseries, *Simone Biles Rising*. Directed by Katie Walsh, the series gives an intimate glimpse into Biles’ life on and off the mat, revealing the challenges and triumphs that have shaped her journey.
The first part of the series, released in July 2024, focused on Biles’ struggles during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and her mental health recovery. The upcoming episodes, set for release this fall, will shift the spotlight to her success in Paris and offer a closer look at her personal life and support system.
Walsh, in an interview with *People Magazine*, emphasized the importance of showing Biles’ experiences beyond the competition. “It’s been great to just be a fly on the wall and experience it a little bit through her eyes,” she said.
One of the most memorable moments captured in the series involves Biles and her teammates, including Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, receiving their Olympic gear and preparing for the ceremonies. This behind-the-scenes event, usually off-limits to cameras, was especially significant since many team members missed out on it during the pandemic-affected Tokyo Games.
A key element of the docuseries is the focus on Biles’ family support. Unlike the Tokyo Games, Biles’ family could attend the Paris Olympics, and Walsh captured their emotional reactions and constant communication with Biles during her competitions. “Her family had never missed a gymnastics competition in her 20 years as a competitor, from when she was 6,” Walsh shared, underscoring the vital role of Biles’ support system in her success.
As Biles moves forward, her busy fall schedule includes the Gold Over America tour, supporting her husband Jonathan Owens in his NFL season, and settling into their new home in Houston. All these experiences will be featured in the upcoming episodes of *Simone Biles Rising*, providing fans with a comprehensive look at the life of one of the greatest athletes of all time.
The final episodes of *Simone Biles Rising* are highly anticipated, promising to showcase not only Biles’ athletic achievements but also her personal growth and the strong support network that has helped her thrive.
