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.
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..

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.

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.
