Is Simone Biles the most influential gymnast of all time? Her 'Emily in Paris' cameo sparks debate!

Whatever Simone Biles does, she has a way of leaving her fans in awe, hanging on to every moment with bated breath. The queen of gymnastics is once again in the spotlight, this time for the much-anticipated second part of her Netflix docuseries, *Simone Biles Rising.* The series, set to drop on October 25, 2024, chronicles Biles’ incredible journey through the 2024 gymnastic trials and her triumphant return to the Olympics. After being forced to step back from the Tokyo Olympics due to a severe case of the twisties, Biles’ comeback in Paris was nothing short of legendary. The GOAT dominated the Porte de La Chapelle Arena, bringing home three gold medals. Only Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade could stand in her way, edging Biles out for the gold in the floor exercise, leaving the American superstar with silver in that event.

Before the Paris Olympics kicked off, Netflix gave fans a taste of what was to come by releasing the first part of the docuseries on July 17, 2024. Those initial two episodes delved into Biles’ struggles and recovery after Tokyo, earning widespread acclaim and a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, Netflix is ready to roll out the next chapter in Biles’ story, and they’re doing it with style.

In the promo video for the upcoming release, Biles surprised her audience by channeling Emily from the hit Netflix series *Emily in Paris.* She posted the video on her TikTok on August 21, and fans were immediately captivated by her new avatar. Whether she’s dominating the gymnastics world or embracing her inner Parisian in a Netflix promo, Simone Biles continues to prove that she’s not just a champion—she’s an icon who knows how to keep her fans enthralled at every turn.
