Summary
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, are just around the corner,and to prepare for the big event, Netflix released a documentary series,Simone Biles Rising, revolving around one of the greatest athletes in the world. After the COVID-19 delayed Summer Olympics in 2021 (the competition was scheduled to take place in 2020 but was pushed to the next year due to the pandemic) in Tokyo, Japan, the multi-sport event will resume its normal procedure with public spectators and without social distancing. The upcoming Games are highly anticipated, especially due to the return of a renowned United States gymnast.
The 2024 Summer Olympics is set to kick off on July 26 in Paris, France, and end on August 11.
Many will be keeping their eye on the women’s gymnastics events at the 2024 Olympics. The United States team has been one of the most formidable groups at the Olympics in the past few decades, and the 2024 crew (which includes a few of the same athletes as the 2020 team) is one of the strongest yet. However, most are excited to watch one gymnast in particular, asSimone Biles is set to make her comeback following a disappointing 2020 Olympics,which is all chronicled in the aforementioned newNetflix sports documentary.

Nevertheless,Biles was understandably disappointed by her performance,and the aftermath of hercontroversial 2020 Olympics decision is documented inSimone Biles Risingon Netflix.
