After stepping back from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles faced higher stakes as she prepared for her return to competition. Although she had successfully returned to gymnastics, the pressure was palpable, especially with the world watching her journey leading up to the Summer Games, as depicted in Part 1 of Netflix’s docuseries *Simone Biles Rising*.
In Paris, Biles reclaimed her status as an Olympic champion, earning three gold medals and one silver, all while being documented by Netflix cameras. Among her biggest fans is her niece, Ronni Biles, who is eagerly anticipating the release of the second part of the docuseries. Celebrating the occasion at the World Champions Centre, Ronni was seen in an adorable gymnastics outfit, mirroring her aunt’s poses and flair.
Ronni’s enthusiasm for gymnastics shines through in videos shared by her family, showcasing her practice sessions at home. Although she lacks a beam, her mother creatively used tape on the floor to simulate one. Ronni, who is not even two years old, has clearly taken inspiration from her aunt and displays a playful determination in her attempts to mimic gymnastics moves.
As for the docuseries, Part 2 will delve into Biles’ journey after her struggles in Tokyo, focusing on her mental health and well-being leading up to the Paris Olympics, which she has dubbed the “Redemption Tour.” The series captures her fight against critics who labeled her a quitter and highlights the challenges she faced, revealing her emotions surrounding the pressure of an Olympic year.
The trailer for Part 2, released on October 3, shows Biles preparing for the Games, openly discussing her anxiety and the emotional toll that comes with competing at such a high level. She reflects on her feelings during this stressful time, including fear and self-doubt, even as she prepares for her third Olympic appearance.
Ultimately, Biles emerged from the Paris Olympics as the most decorated gymnast in history, a feat that fans will be able to relive in Episodes 3 and 4 of the docuseries. These episodes will follow her journey through the U.S. Olympic Trials and her experiences in Paris. Part 2 of *Simone Biles Rising* is set to premiere on October 25, and excitement is building, especially from her young fan, Ronni.
