Sprint

Bon film !

This show is more about the 'personalities' of the sport without any real insight into their training, preparation, hard work and event day experience. Access to the sports top stars and sporting events has been let down by the production. This has been produced To help these runners promote themselves and build their own brand and image. Glorified social media without substance. If they focused on giving true insight it would have actually promoted the unique abilities and hard work for the long-term reputation. Most of the characters will be instantly forgettable once the show ends and only the record books will show their name.

"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.

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.

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.
