Complete Schedule for Netflix’s ‘Rising’ Series on Olympic Gymnastics Legend

Simone Biles catapulted to fame in 2016 during her Olympic debut, quickly becoming a dominant force in gymnastics. Fast forward five years, and Biles made headlines once again during her second Olympic appearance, not for her performance, but for her unexpected withdrawal from the competition.

While performing on vault, Biles experienced the "twisties" — a mental block that disrupts a gymnast’s spatial awareness during flips and twists. This led to her decision to withdraw, which ignited intense scrutiny and backlash. Despite citing mental health issues as her reason, the decision drew widespread criticism.

After the 2021 Olympics, the future of gymnastics seemed uncertain. Would the sport’s greatest athlete return, or had she reached the end of her illustrious career? Fast forward three years, and Biles is set to make a remarkable comeback, eyeing her third Olympic appearance.

This decision, however, wasn’t an easy one. As she prepares for the Paris Games, audiences will get an inside look at her journey in an upcoming Netflix documentary series, "Simone Biles Rising." The series is set to showcase her recovery and triumphant return to the sport.

"Simone Biles Rising" will be released as a two-part docuseries. Part 1 will premiere on Netflix on July 17, just before the start of the Paris Olympics. The release date for Part 2 has yet to be announced.

For those eager to watch, here’s how you can catch "Simone Biles Rising":

The documentary provides a detailed look at Biles’s comeback after her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics. It delves into her road to recovery amidst the immense pressure to reclaim her status at the pinnacle of gymnastics. Now, she is focused on adding more medals to her collection in Paris.

"Simone Biles Rising" also highlights Biles’s relationships throughout her journey, offering viewers insight into her bonds with family and friends, including her husband, Jonathan Owens.

"We are all the authors of our own journeys," Biles said. "I am in a place in my life where I’m comfortable with who I am and what I’ve been through as an athlete, but most of all, as a person. Gymnastics is what I do but it’s not who I am, and I’m excited for people to see another side of me outside of competition."
