Sprint: Los humanos más veloces

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.

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)

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..

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.

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.
