What Actually Occurred with Simone Biles’ Calf During the Olympics: “I feel like my body is a ticking time bomb.”
In reference to the early injury she had at the beginning of the Paris Games, Biles is heard telling her coach, “My calf or something just pulled all the way.”
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.
