Aly Raisman and Mikaela Shiffrin shared their enthusiasm for the second part of Simone Biles' Netflix documentary. Simone Biles Rising series premiered its first part ahead of the Paris Olympics on 17 July 2024.

The two-part series is all set to premiere its second part on 25 October. Part one showcased the legendary gymnast's personal life, mental health journey, and training ahead of the Olympics. It also highlighted her return to the sport after she withdrew from competing in the final of the Tokyo Games.

The second part will focus on her successful campaign at the Paris Games. The American favorite became the most decorated gymnast in the country following her victorious streak. She secured three gold medals in team, individual all-around and vault events, and a silver medal in the floor event.

Moreover, the documentary also features behind-the-scenes footage of Biles' performances and moments from her ongoing Gold Over America Tour. Ahead of the release of the second part, Raisman, who also grabbed a gold medal, along with Biles, in the team event at the 2016 Rio Games, showed her excitement for the upcoming part while expressing her pride in Biles.

"Calendar marked for October 25th," Raisman wrote. "CAN’T WAIT. So proud of you @Simone_Biles."

Along with Raisman, the legendary alpine skier Shiffrin also shared her enthusiasm for the highly anticipated series.

"Same…can’t wait to watch this @Simone_Biles!!"

In the recent developments of Jordan Chiles' bronze medal debacle, footage from Simone Biles' Netflix series showed the prospect of altering the original decision.

Chiles was denied the bronze medal after Romania's Ana Barbosu appealed to the CAS, highlighting that the inquiry from Chiles' end was issued after the stipulated time. Initially, Chiles was promoted to third place from fifth after her coach Cecile Landi issued an inquiry.

However, a month after the Paris Olympics, the fight for Chiles' bronze medal continues with her attorney Maurice M. submitting a new application to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland. The application states that the video captured by the Netflix crew can provide audio and video recordings of the coach issuing the inquiry in time, which can ultimately lead to CAS' previous decision.
