The greatness of Simone Biles needs no introduction, as most already know about it. She has left no stone unturned throughout her career to prove that she is the greatest of all time. However, most know about Simone’s achievements and the enigma she is rather than the person herself.

This is why the first season of the Netflix documentary Simone Biles Rising became so popular. It showed the gymnast recovering from the Tokyo Olympics debacle as she prepared to make a comeback in Paris. But while she kept a confident exterior for most of the series, director Katie Walsh understood and empathized with the things she was going through. After all, the criticism that came her way post-Tokyo was not easy to handle.

1. Thus, when Katie was set to shoot the series, she must have had a goal in her mind. Every filmmaker does that as they decide how to portray their subject. Katie Walsh also had an aim before filming. To take the character that is Simone Biles, a legendary gymnast, and make people understand her better. This is because she felt that it was tough to empathize with her, as she really is the best in the world in her field.
