One just cannot keep Simone Biles out of the fame game. While she was down and out after the Tokyo Olympics, what followed next was a meteoric rise. Taking a self-oath to obliterate all the possible obstacles an average human cannot overcome, Biles soon became a living example of elite personnel. Coming back in the 2023 Worlds, Biles got back into her winning ways. 

And the addiction to gold became such a sweet retreat, the 27-year-old kept adding more and more to her kitty. Owning the game at the US trials, Biles came to the Paris Olympics with only one goal. To redeem her lost pride. After a torn calf muscle, a hyperextended knee, and 4 Olympic medals (including 3 gold), there was no doubt as to who the boss was. 

Thus, it is only natural that one of the biggest OTT platforms in the world would try to capitalize on Biles’ skyrocketing popularity. In one such demonstration of fame, Netflix uploaded a promo featuring snippets of their most hyped shows. And, adding a pleasant twist for the gymnastics fans was the inclusion of Simone Biles. 

Biles immediately shared it, captioning the post, “Have you watched it yet? It’s so good.” The entire Biles presentation and the dialogues were presented in a rather funny manner. Catching the essence of the same, fellow US men’s gymnast Donnell Whittenburg could not control his laughter. He immediately took to the comments section and wrote, “You in the F1, had me crying.”

Mentions of their worldwide blockbusters such as ‘Wednesday’, ‘Squid Games’, and ‘Stranger Things’ kicked off the video. At the end of the video, Biles could be seen inside a racing car. Promoting Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’, the gymnastics queen apparently got interested in racing. Biles could be heard saying, “But I binged Drive to Survive and I felt like racing could be my next thing. My favorite part was…” At this point, Biles ignited the gas and her car took off.

Surely, Simone Biles has now become much more than just a world champion athlete. With her market value growing out of orbit each day, Biles has now extended her territory into the entertainment side of things as well. And this was not her maiden tryst with Netflix. In fact, Biles has been quite a hit among Netflix users for a long time. Thanks to her incredible documentary. 

Simone Biles writes success story with her ‘Rising’ Netflix tale

It was an exceptional idea for director Katie Walsh to document the life story of Simone Biles. Taking up the monumental task, she successfully included all the cinematic elements from Biles’ life to come up with a masterpiece. Releasing just before the Paris games, ‘Simone Biles Rising’ was an instant hit. Treading some of the uncharted territories of the gymnast’s life, the viewers binge-watched the two-part documentary just like their favorite Netflix shows. 

As a matter of fact, the first part of the documentary also had some exclusive caviars to its name. According to an update from fixpatrol, the docuseries skyrocketed as the number 1 trending show on Netflix’s top 10 list. Dethroning popular TV series like Vikings: Valhalla and Homicide, Simone Biles Rising surely made a stir among the fans. Additionally, it also got an Emmy nomination, the top award in television, to further bolster the glam quotient of the show.

Thus, with the first part laying the groundwork, the second installment was only the icing on the cake. Focusing on her triumphant Paris takeover, Biles could be seen promoting her Netflix association with pride. A few days back, she was spotted attending the premiere of the show with her parents and her sister, Adria Biles, by her side. Now getting involved more with Netflix, it remains to be seen what more surprises Simone Biles has up her sleeves in the days to come.
