What is the name of the Netflix documentary series about Simone Biles released in 2024?

The story behind the answer

The Netflix documentary series about Simone Biles released in 2024 is Simone Biles Rising.

The series follows Biles as she returned to elite competition after withdrawing from most events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics because of the “twisties,” a loss of spatial awareness during twisting skills. Its first two episodes focus on her mental-health recovery, personal life, training, and preparation for the Paris 2024 Games.

Netflix released the opening part in July 2024, ahead of the Olympics. A second installment arrived later that year and covered the U.S. Olympic trials, the Paris competition, and Biles’s comeback with the gold-medal-winning American team.

The title is sometimes shortened informally to “Simone Biles: Rising,” but Netflix’s listed title is Simone Biles Rising. It is also distinct from Simone vs Herself, an earlier Facebook Watch documentary series that examined Biles’s life and career before the Netflix production.
