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.

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.

Season 1 was exciting but Season 2 is down right lazy and not a true reflection of what we witnessed in Athletics in 2023/24. Too much attntion is given to the same athletes even when they fail the spotlight never goes to the deserving athletes like Tebogo.

We get that Africa is some place over there for the producers and probably not of any interest or focus for the audience they are chasing and that's okay but don't put Tebogo on the poster of the entire season and barely have him there n any of the episodes.

I was underwhelmed by season 2, I've seen better YouTube documentaries on athletics for 2024 with zero budget and comprehensively cover and profile all events and athletes fairly.

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.
