Simone Biles reminds us: You never know what Olympic athletes are going through
NPRSimone Biles reminds us: You never know what Olympic athletes are going through toggle caption Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images NPR is in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The Netflix series Simone Biles Rising is, on the one hand, exactly what you would expect: a documenting of Biles' remarkable career, with an emphasis on her unexpected withdrawal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and her preparation for the Paris Olympics, which are under way. She spent time processing trauma in her life, including the fact that she was one of many gymnasts who came forward to acknowledge sexual abuse by Team USA doctor Larry Nassar, part of a very long story that publicly unfolded mostly between her 2016 and 2021 Olympic appearances. Sponsor Message One possible lesson to take away from the series — perhaps the simplest one — is "Simone Biles is awesome; look how she fought to come back."
