"Simone Biles: Rising" and "Sprint," which follows world champions Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson, will both air ahead of this summer's Paris Olympics, which begin July 26. A still-to-be-named documentary on Olympic basketball, from the same team that made "Last Dance" about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls’ last title, will premiere early next year.

She won her sixth all-around title at the world championships, and her five medals overall gave her 37 at worlds and the Olympics, making her the most-decorated gymnast ever, male or female.

Biles begins her season this weekend at the U.S. Classic in Hartford, Connecticut. The first episode of "Simone Biles: Rising" will air in July.

The first season begins in July.
