Sprint

All I know is these Olympic athletes have one of the most stressful jobs. They have the weight of the world on their backs. I couldn't handle the stress. I loved how this documentary showed the grit and heart it takes to prep for literally 10 to 20 seconds of your life. Parts of the series that stood out to me include: 1. Noah Lyles is one cocky son of a b*tch, which I guess he has the right to be at the moment being the current fastest man alive. I did find it so sweet when he started to cry post winning the 2023 100m World Champion.

2. I really liked learning about British sprinter Zharnell Hughes's journey and didn't know the term "Plastic Brit" was even a thing. Basically they call him a fake Brit because he is actually from Anguilla, which is a British colony.

3. Shelly Ann Fisher being 36 years old and racing these girls in their young 20s is mind boggling.

4. Although he is hot, it does seem like Italian Lamont Marcel Jacobs's 2020 Tokoyo Olympics 100m gold metal win does appear to have been a fluke.

5. Watching Sha'Carri Richardson winning the 2023 100m World Championships made me emotional. She didn't expect it and was so surprised.

I'm eager to see season 2 which is suppose to surround the events of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

While the first series is maybe the best about sports on Netflix , the second one returns to the lower level of the channel, on the first one there is the right balance between personal and sport life, the athletes show maybe their best side, the second one is an annoying show of self marketing, pumped ego, dresses and painted naild, looking at the images with all the freedom given to the videomakers, i worked at international events like this and not all the people can go where these people go, there is nothing interesting to see during the olympics. At the moment the sport shows on the "channel of that famous shop" remains as average absolutely better.

Netflix is too focused on talking to US audiences, often at the expense of viewers around the rest of the world. But what is really frustrating here is that the US characters are also awful -- they are focussed as much on putting the other competitors off as they are on being their absolute best. They're happy winning by messing with a competitor's head rather than winning fair and square. It's an ugly form of bad sportsmanship from the empire with the most resources. This series does not have the warmth needed to care about the struggle and grit of the egomaniacs they've chosen to focus on. Disappointing.

Season 1..an amazing insight to athletics throughout the world of athletics. Lets you into the mindset of the athletes competing from multiple countries which was fantastic to see. A very well rounded watch and intelligently put together with a fair amount of air time to each country and athlete 8.5👍..but season two simple concentrate on/mostly the US team with very little time to other nations it more like the Noah lyles show,and as great as US team proved to be.there was more,i wanted to find out from others nations with massively impressive proformance and person stories from counties smaller like Saint Kitts and Botswana athletes with Inspiring stories to discover..please the underdog story is do much more impressive than the louder individuals(we all know who they are)

I had been looking SO MUCH FORWARD to this series and even reordered Netflix to follow it. I expected a series about the worlds sprinters but instead I got a series about American sprinters. The rest of the worlds sprinters from other nationalities are added as extras and stunt doubles in a bad B-movie. VERY DISSAPOINTING!

Yes, it wasn't the best Olympics for the Jamaicans but they are the best sprinting nation in the world and was hardly portrayed. The world fastes woman on the 200m and arguably the best 200m runner ever - counter on top 10 times as well as one on the most winning female sprinter ever - Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce wa portrayed as bracket in a series where Gabby Thomas, Sha'Carrie Richardson and especially Nora lyles all over the place. Even on his defeat in the 200m gets more attention than the winner of the race.

Embarrassing- two countries took their first ever gold medal in the women's 100m and the men's 200m. Give them the respect they deserve.
