The popular Netflix track and field documentary series is back again and focuses on athletes in their build-up to and at the Paris Olympics

The Paris Olympics mightve ended but fans wont have to wait too long to get a behind the scenes look at the Games.

SPRINT, the track and field documentary series that premiered on July 2, is back again for its second instalment and it will be released on November 13.

The Netflix cameras followed a number of athletes in their preparation for the Olympics, plus filmed them in Paris as they all battled it out for the gold medal.

Fans will get an idea on how elite athletes felt ahead of the Olympics, the emotions when personal bests were struck on the grandest of all stages and the ecstasy and agony associated with making or not reaching goals.

The second series of SPRINT focuses on: Fred Kerley, Gabby Thomas, Kishane Thompson, Julien Alfred, Letsile Tebogo, Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, Marcell Jacobs, Kenny Bednarek, Shericka Jackson, Oblique Seville.

The list is largely US based but, from a global perspective, two athletes stand out.

The first is Alfred, who won Olympic 100m gold and claimed Saint Lucias first ever medal in any sport in the history of the Games.

The 23-year-old ran an incredible national record of 10.72 in the pouring rain at the Stade de France and saw off world 100m champion and favourite ShaCarri Richardson.

Alfred then backed up her 100m gold with silver in the 200m, finishing behind Thomas.

The Saint Lucians success in Paris sparked wild celebrations back on the island and videos of thousands of people watching her 100m glory went viral around the world.

It was a similar case for Tebogo, who won Botswanas first ever gold medal at the Olympics with victory in the 200m.

The 21-year-old beat favourite Noah Lyles who later revealed he had Covid to the title and ran an incredible 19.46, which put Tebogo fifth on the 200m all-time list.

Only Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Noah Lyles and Michael Johnson have gone quicker over the distance.

Tebogo then backed up his 200m gold by being part of Botswanas mens 4x400m team that claimed silver in the French capital.
