The Netflix original Simone Biles Rising is among the new documentary series you can stream as the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics get underway.
The opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics is set for Friday at 1:30 p.m. EDT. Pop music icons Celine Dion and Lady Gaga are rumored to perform a duet at the event, which will be broadcast on NBC and stream on Peacock—which is NBC Universal’s streaming service.
Dion’s participation in the event will mark the next big step in her comeback in the music world after revealing that she was suffering from the rare muscular disorder Stiff Person Syndrome in May of 2023.
Reports have surfaced that Dion and Lady Gaga have rehearsed iconic singer Edith Piaf’s classic song “La Vie en Rose.”
The opening ceremony on Friday is shaping up to be a historical event as it marks the first floating ceremony in the history of the games. The ceremony will feature 1o,000 athletes in boats—among other luminaries—during the Parade of Nations on the Seine River.
Several documentary series or features are available on streaming to help tell the compelling backstories of some of the athletes participating in the 2024 games, as well as other greats from Olympics past. Here’s a look at some of them.
