Sprint

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.

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..

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.

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.

This was such a compelling watch! I have seen a number of sports documentaries but this was one of my favorites. I started my first episode thinking I would watch a few minutes and ended up finishing the entire series in a single day.

This series does a good job of taking you behind the scenes and giving you a glimpse into the lives and training of the world's best sprinters. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the various male and female athletes. At first some in particular do not seem very likeable, but by the end of the series I found myself cheering for sprinters I initially disliked.

I hope there are more seasons to come.
