Sprint

"Sprint" is a gripping and inspiring docuseries that delves into the high-octane world of sprinting, spotlighting the journeys of athletes like Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, Shericka Jackson, Fred Kerley, Zharles Hughes, Marcell Jacobs and few other great athletes of today's era. The series shines with its authenticity, capturing the raw emotions, relentless training, and personal challenges faced by these world-class sprinters. What sets Sprint apart is its unscripted nature, allowing viewers to witness the athletes' true grit and determination as they strive for greatness.

The storytelling is enhanced by a dynamic soundtrack that perfectly complements the intensity and drama on screen, making each moment more powerful. The series does an excellent job of balancing the athletes' professional achievements with their personal stories, giving viewers a well-rounded understanding of what it takes to compete at the highest level.

The cinematography is stunning, capturing both the thrill of the race and the quieter, reflective moments of the athletes. Sprint is more than just a sports documentary; it's a celebration of human spirit and perseverance. Whether you're a track and field enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates a well-crafted documentary, Sprint is a must-watch that will leave you both moved and motivated.

4 episodes were not enough for a post Olympics follow-up season. That said I really enjoyed this and hope that they continue future seasons.

As for those complaining about "too many Americans"... has it occurred to them that since this is a followup to the Olympics and the USA (one nation) won a whopping 2/3 of the Sprint medals, it stands to reason that a lot of USA athletes would be profiled? Every sprint Olympic medalist regardless of nation was profiled except one, Brittany Brown (an American). USA Medalist Sha'carri Richardson opted out of participation in the show.

Conversely, we got a lot of coverage of multiple athletes who neither medaled or hardly showed up at the Olympics - none of which were American, unless you count the minor mention of Chris Coleman. Perhaps those upset are more upset that the series reminds them of the USA's dominance this Olympics.

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.

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.

Loved every episode of this.

Having lived in Jamaica, the number one sport is track and field. A great show that represents the culture of the national sport and an amazing insight into the athletes mindsets, training and coaching.

Kingston represent.. Would love to have captured more on the culture in JA.

The best parts are the down time when you see what the athletes are going through with loss and picking themselves up.

Netflix could have done a better job on some of the real rivals rather than just focus on certain individuals. Shelly should have more face time. The racism that exists in the sport but super addictive viewing and roll on S2...

This was everything in terms of sprinting. Get Rhasidat Adeleke for season 2... now..
