Simone Biles Reveals What Really Happened to Her Calf During the Olympics: ‘My Body Is Like a Ticking Time Bomb’
Biles is seen telling her coach “my calf or something just pulled all the way,” discussing the early injury she sustained at the start of the Paris Games
It was the moment that instilled panic in every gymnastics fan: During warm-ups ahead of the team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, in what was set to be Simone Biles‘ big comeback, she limped off the floor, trailed by the Team USA doctor.
Of course, it all ended well — Biles pushed through her mystery calf injury to win gold in the team, all-around and vault finals, plus a silver in floor. But fans will finally get to hear the full story of what happened in the second part of Netflix’s Simone Biles: Rising, based on the new trailer that dropped on Thursday, Oct. 3.
In the middle of the first look at part two of the docuseries, Biles is seen telling her coach, “my calf or something just pulled all the way,” as she came off the floor mat.
The trailer then immediately cuts to Biles being bandaged up just before she competes, as a voiceover can be heard saying, “Is this a case of deja vu?” referring to her early exit at the Tokyo Games.
Biles’ former Olympic teammate Aly Raisman is next heard explaining that after the competition, she asked Biles, “How did you do it in so much pain?” to which she said the 7-time Olympic gold medalist replied, “I couldn’t have people tell me I was a quitter again.”
Biles also says “since I’m older, my body is like a ticking time bomb,” noting that at her age of 27 she is considered an elder in the gymnastics world.

Elsewhere in the trailer we get behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Olympic competition with Team USA, as well as appearances from Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens and her mother Nellie Biles.
During the first half of the docuseries, Biles was shown preparing to return to the Olympics following her abrupt departure in Tokyo, but the second part chronicles her history-making return to gymnastics at the Paris Games where she added multiple gold medals to her already impressive count.
