“The goal is to win the Olympics – and then we’ll see.” Netflix has launched the brand new trailer for the continuation of the sports doc series called Simone Biles Rising, from director Katie Walsh. Part 2 is now ready to release later in October, featuring an update on Simone after she won another 4 medals (including 3 golds – for a grand total of 11 Olympic medals) at the 2024 Paris Olympics just a few months ago. They explain: “Part 2 of Simone Biles Rising follows along as she competes at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials & officially qualifies for the U.S. Olympic Team to her incredible performances in Paris, all the while sharing personal thoughts and moments of her incredible journey to become the most decorated gymnast in history.” This sports doc series began with “Part 1” debuting in July in the summer just before the games kicked off. “Witness unprecedented access to one of the most powerful comebacks in sports in Simone Biles Rising. Journey into the world of Simone as she grapples with vulnerability and self-doubt, redefining what it means to be a “champion” on her own terms.” This looks even more than suspensful than the first part.
Here’s the new trailer for Katie Walsh’s doc Simone Biles Rising – Part 2, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:

Simone Biles has unfinished business. 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 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. Simone Biles Rising is directed by sports doc producer / filmmaker Katie Walsh, of the “Marvel’s Hero Project” series, and a producer on the “Simone vs Herself” TV series. Produced by Religion of Sports in association with the Olympic Channel. Executive produced by Gotham Chopra, Ameeth Sankaran, Giselle Parets, Janey Miller, JT Taylor and Yiannis Exarchos. Netflix will debut Simone Biles Rising – Part 2 streaming on Netflix starting on October 25th, 2024 coming soon.
