Letsile Tebogo, Noah Lyles part of casts in Olympic-themed SPRINT season two

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

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

Fans will get an idea of 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: Gabby Thomas, Noah Lyles, Fred Kerley, Kishane Thompson, Julien Alfred, Letsile Tebogo, Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, Marcell Jacobs, Kenny Bednarek, Shericka Jackson, and Oblique Seville among others.

The first is Alfred, who won the Olympic 100m gold and claimed Saint Lucia’s 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 Sha’Carri Richardson.

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

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

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

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

Tebogo then backed up his 200m gold by being part of Botswana’s men’s 4x400m team that claimed silver in the French capital.
