Plot Synopsis

Directed by Katie Walsh, SIMONE BILES RISING is a four-part documentary that follows the comeback of Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast ever, as she balances her personal life, mental health journey, and training ahead of a highly anticipated return to the Olympics. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she was one of the biggest stories leading into the Games. But in sport, as in life, competitions do not always go as planned. And for Simone, the world had a front row seat as her private struggle with mental health exploded on the international stage -- forcing her to withdraw from the competition. Since then, Simone has put in the hard work: facing the difficult traumas of her past, learning to manage her mental health, embracing her journey, and in the process, rebuilding her gymnastics from the ground up. Her courage to soar knows no bounds as this summer she plans to return to the Olympic stage once again to do what she's always done -- be the best Simone that she can be. Because through it all, Simone still rises. On Wednesday, July 17, 2024, Netflix released the first two installments of SIMONE BILES RISING.
