The sports world is gearing up to witness Olympic action in Paris in the coming month. There is a lot of expectation among fans, and Netflix is going to release a special documentary series on track and field called “Sprint.” Notably, it will feature some famous athletes such as Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, Shericka Jackson, and many more, according to Netflix’s website, Tudum.
These athletes have received a lot of attention because of their accomplishments in various kinds of track duels. All of the events leading up to the main event in Paris will be included in this series, which will premiere shortly before the Olympics.
Fans will be provided with a completely new perspective on track and field, as the production company behind renowned sports documentaries such as Formula 1: Drive to Survive is working on this project. This will also be an excellent opportunity for the track community to grow in size, as the sport has been stagnant in terms of viewer interest for quite some time due to a lack of rule changes.
Netflix is yet to disclose the release date, but they have stated that it will be divided into multiple seasons in accordance with all of the upcoming Olympic action.
Get your popcorn ready @netflix announces that season one of “Sprint” will release this July, following Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, Shericka Jackson and more of the world’s top sprinters at the 2023 World Championships.
