Simone Biles Rising (Netflix)

I've just finished these too. Has it been enough time for us to talk about it without worrying about spoiling?

Maybe one of the mods can put spoiler alert in the title

IMO, discuss away. It's been over a week.

I thought the final two parts were rather flat compared to the genuinely interesting first pair. Maybe because they were trying to inject some DRAMA and TENSION despite everyone already knowing how the story ends.

Also I'm still really distracted by how far forward Simone has to have her car seat in order for her feet to reach the pedals. I have a mental picture of her husband jumping in one morning and breaking both his knees.

Well the real drama was the final day of EFs, as it turned out, but I can see why they didn't want that to be a significant part of the narrative. The main goal had clearly always been the AA, after all. It would also have been really hard to do without it being partially about Jordan, and I can see why they'd decide it was easiest to avoid the issue altogether.

I liked the bit when Simone said everyone says I'm not human, but Rebeca isn't either. She's right! Imagine having to compete against someone as good as Rebeca.
