But that’s a common tag. Biles truly deserves this title as she’s head and shoulders above the rest in both her professional and personal life. Her professional highs have often been tempered by personal lows, starting with a mother battling drug addiction. She then found herself in foster care. However, her life took a turn for the better when she was taken under the wing of her grandparents, Nellie and Ron Biles, who played a pivotal role in propelling her to greatness.

However, the tumultuous year of 2021, after COVID-19, brought unexpected challenges such as mental hurdles known as the ‘twisties,’ which led to her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics. Biles was/ is the future of gymnastics, but in 2021, the future of gymnastics reached a screeching halt. Everyone used to think whether she would return, or were the curtains drawn down for her career? And rightfully so.

Now, three years later, Simone Biles is not only back but better than ever, gearing up for her third Olympics. As the saying goes – what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger- and her experiences have made her much stronger than ever! However, her journey through the ups and downs of life is succinctly documented by Netflix’s Simone Biles Rising,’ an exclusive documentary. The series shed light on her recovery and comeback. But when will be able to watch it? Here is how and when you can watch it.

“Simone Biles Rising,” a two-part docuseries, is set to debut on Netflix at midnight on July 17, just ahead of the Paris Olympics. Part 1 will provide an intimate look at Simone Biles’ journey. Netflix has yet to announce the release date for Part 2. Unlike traditional TV channels, “Simone Biles Rising” will be exclusively available for streaming on Netflix. However, on 15th July Netflix released the teaser of this.

A mother’s concern lifts Simone Biles to new heights

A snippet of the documentary released on Netflix’s YouTube channel on July 15 features Simone Biles’ mother, Nellie Biles. Ever since she adopted Simone Biles at the age of 6, Nellie has nurtured their bond, making Simone feel like her true daughter, and Simone treasures her mother’s presence like a sanctuary and a sanatorium of relief, of sorts. In the docuseries Nellie is captured braiding Simone’s hair, discussing the emotional rollercoaster of Simone’s Olympic journey.

Nellie voiced her concerns about shielding Simone from future challenges, saying, “For me, it’s been four years since I have actually, ah, attended, ah, an international competition so it’s been a while..”She further added,” Tokyo was the one time I did not braid Simone’s hair. She is an adult; I mean, this girl can braid her hair, but it’s not about her braiding her hair. It’s that bonding, it’s that not saying much, it’s the touch, that’s what doing her hair means.”

Since her challenging Tokyo experience, Biles has made a comeback, securing her spot in the Paris Olympics with standout performances at the U.S. trials. Her routines include a Yurchenko double pike vault and impressive scores on uneven bars and floor exercises. Reflecting on her journey, Biles said earlier, “Trusting the process and [my coaches], I knew I’d be back.” Looking forward to Paris, Biles sees these Games as a redemption tour, aiming to prove herself and her team under improved circumstances.

She added in an interview with Olympics.com, “This is definitely our redemption tour… We have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we’re better athletes.” We’re all eagerly counting down the days to the next Netflix docuseries and the thrill of the Paris Olympics, where athletes like Simone Biles will aim to go for gold!
