Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles and Other Stars Feature in Netflix Series Sprint: Release Dates, How and When to Watch?

“It takes a special talent, both physically and mentally, to succeed in a world where your fate is decided in just 10 seconds” But that’s exactly what Team USA did last year! The 19th edition of the 2023 World Championships took place in Budapest. From 19th to 27th August, everyone watched the event unfold at the National Athletics Centre. Corps d’elite from every nation battled for the title of being a World Champion, and America walked away victorious with 29 medals.

With just 25 days to go for the Paris Summer Games, Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles will be preparing to set the track ablaze in the French Capital. Fans have been incessantly curious about what goes on behind the scenes of these mammoth events. This is where Netflix comes in! The streaming giants announced an upcoming track and field docuseries, SPRINT. Taking fans through every single event, emotion, and uncertainty these athletes felt from the 2023 World Championships to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles’ sprint for the finish line: When can you watch it?

Netflix has finally announced the release date of the much-awaited series. SPRINT will grace everyone’s screens on July 2nd, 2024! They first announced the documentary last summer. The first season six-episode documentary will follow Richardson and Lyles’ journey throughout the World Championships in Budapest. Fans will be able to watch their favorites battle it out to become the world’s fastest humans. But they will also be able to look past their lives on the track, getting several glimpses of who they are behind all the speed and accolades.

However, they have also announced a second season. This will follow their journey in Paris, where they will be vying to bring home the coveted Olympic gold. While dates for the same are unclear, fans will finally get to see what goes on behind the scenes on the world’s biggest stage. Track and field events will kick off at the French capital on August 1st.

After proving why they’re best on the track, the sprinters have now shifted their attention to the Summer Games that will commence on 26th July. Sha’Carri Richardson, who previously missed out on the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to an unfortunate ban, will soon be making her debut on the grand stage. Apart from Richardson’s flamboyance on the track, she is also looking to be the first American woman to win the 100-meter dash since 1996. Seeing how she qualified in the event with 10.71 seconds on the clock, Paris is bound to witness a stellar show.

While fans always know where their favorites are during the Summer Games, they don’t seem to know what they are up to between the four-year gap. This documentary is looking to fill in that void by letting everyone in on how these elite stars spend their time when they’re not vying for Olympic glory.

Who besides frontrunners Richardson and Lyles will make an appearance?

While Sha’Carri Richardson is one of the main attractions. Fans will also get to watch the intricacy of Noah Lyles and his rivalry with Fred Kerley and Marcell Jacobs at the World Championship last year. Speaking about the experience, Lyles stated, “When I imagined the day where a docuseries would be created, I didn’t always envision me being the first person it would be about.” Getting a sneak peek of the 100m world champion’s life might not be as out of the ordinary as he believes. But he is hyped about letting people in nonetheless!

The docuseries will closely follow the lives of several elite sprinters from the US, Ivory Coast, Kenta, Jamaica, Italy, and the UK. Lyles continues, “I’m excited to see how everyone else’s World Championships went. I can only see so much from my angle. I love to see the whole picture come together; I love to see the moment made.” One of the perspectives fans will get to witness is of the second fastest women in 200m, Shericka Jackson.

The elite sprinter was up against Sha’Carri Richardson and Gabby Thomas in the 200m. She effortlessly clinched a gold with 21.41 seconds on the clock, retaining her 200m title in style. In doing so, she also broke her own championship record from a year ago. When it comes to track and field, America and Jamaica have always battled out for being one of the best in the sport. Jackson had even missed out on a 100m gold to Richardson. While she didn’t really mind it, this is one of the many moments fan might get to watch yet again.

While it hasn’t been confirmed, fans might also catch a glimpse of star sprinters like Dina Asher, Gabby Thomas, Marie-Josée Ta Lou and Christian Coleman. For now, we only know of Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, and Shericka Jackson’s perspective in the documentary. While many fans will get to relive their journey throughout the World Championship in Budapest. They can now forward to getting into the nitty gritty of how they fare in the French capital. But one question still lingers on everyone’s mind:

Will it be available all over the globe? Here’s how you can stream the documentary!

Fans can watch season one of the documentary all around the globe on July 2nd 0n Netflix. The series is set to release globally at 12:00 AM Pacific Time. But what if you don’t have a subscription to the streaming platform? Fret not! You can still catch the premier across several other platforms like Breezy, SFlix Movies, 123 Movies, and YesMovies. It is strongly advised to use VPN to access some of these platforms. The only downfall would be that unlike Netflix, you might be prone to mid show ads since all of these are platforms you can use for free.

While Netflix Originals usually entail 10 episodes, fans will be able to watch 6 45-minute long episodes. Along with their fight for glory in Budapest and an insider view of what the star athletes go through, fans might also get to see who their support system has been throughout their journey. Richardson has often spoken about how her grandmother is her biggest cheerleader. This could be one of the narratives many might get to witness beyond the stands.

July was already going to be an action-packed month for many enthusiasts. But with the release of SPRINT, fans have something else to look forward to. With just one more day to go, what moment or perspective would you like an insider’s look on in the documentary?
