“It takes a special talent, both physically and mentally, to succeed in a world where your fate is decided in just 10 seconds,” World Athletics president Sebastian Coe told Netflix last year. 

SPRINT, the upcoming docuseries by the team behind Drive to Survive, covers every millisecond of the long journey from the 2023 World Championships to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

  • Shericka Jackson (Jamaica) 
  • Zharnel Hughes (England)
  • Lamont Marcell Jacobs (Italy)
  • Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (Jamaica)

The series is executive produced by Paul Martin, James Gay-Rees, and Warren Smith at Box to Box Films (Full Swing, Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Break Point) in association with the Olympic Channel. Watch SPRINT: The World’s Fastest Humans on Netflix now.
