When Will Simone Biles Rising Part 2 Release on Netflix?
Many Netflix viewers have been watching the documentary Simone Biles Rising since its debut on July 17, 2024. It follows the gymnast’s comeback after her struggles at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. She is widely regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time but the Tokyo Olympics were a low point in her career.
Coming back after Tokyo 2020
Biles won four gold medals in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and in 2019 she won five gold medals at the World Championships. With high expectations going into the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, the stress caught up with her. She had to withdraw from the women’s team final and four individual finals after that to prioritize her mental health. The performances that had come so easily to her before weren’t possible anymore. She was experiencing what gymnasts call the ‘twisties,’ where the mind and body are no longer in sync.
The two episodes of Part One cover the gymnast’s comeback after Tokyo 2020. What she experienced there was a combination of factors, including the isolation due to the pandemic. She managed to prevail and return to gymnastics stronger mentally and physically than before. One of the reasons why US sports betting is so popular is due to athletes like her who inspire people to watch sports and bet on the results of competitions.
Why will viewers want to watch Part Two?
In Part One, the interview with Biles, her family, and her teammates offers an intimate look at her life. She experienced hate from those who felt she abandoned her team in Tokyo. It took strength to overcome the negativity and she took inspiration from the words of Maya Angelou. She has the phrase “Still I Rise” as a tattoo.
Biles is an inspiration for fellow gymnasts but she is also inspired by them. In her early months back at the gym after Tokyo, she says that she only kept going back because other gymnasts encouraged her to do so. Their words helped her to find mental inspiration and retrain her body. She said she may have quit if it wasn’t for the girls at her gym. Her struggles have sparked conversations about mental health in sports. She is now committed to taking care of her mind as much as she takes care of her body. Many will identify with her struggles.
When is the release of Part Two?
Part One is in the list of the best TV shows streaming right now and after watching it viewers will be looking forward to the next part. Netflix has not yet released a date for the premiere of Part Two. It says that Part Two will come out sometime in the Fall. This means the release could be anywhere from the end of September to mid-December. Each episode in the first part was about 52 minutes so viewers could expect the same in the second part.
What will Part Two be about?
Netflix hasn’t stated what Part Two will cover, but it is likely to follow Simone Biles’ training for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Just as AI is making games more immersive for those who enjoy gaming, it is also giving gymnasts insights to help improve their performances.
Biles didn’t even take for granted that she would make Team U.S.A. at the Olympic trials, but once she did she was on a mission. Facing Paris was a chance to prove that she was a more mature and smarter athlete than before. She said she knows she won’t be able to do her career forever and doesn’t want to look back and have any regrets.
