The track and field fans are seemingly thrilled after seeing the trailer of the Sprint documentary series. One of the netizens wrote:

"I need a 10-part series"

Another fan stated:

"Don’t ask me to do anything on July 2nd"

"Finally a Netflix documentary on track athletes.. I’ll be tuned in - one thing about me, I love a good sports documentary!" wrote another fan

Some other reactions for the upcoming Sprint documentary series include:

"Haven't looked forward to a Doc in ages but I'm PUMPED for SPRINT! The perfect doc in the lead up to Paris" stated a fan.

"There’s way too much American coverage in this from the preview. I’m hoping it’s very in-depth as it’s missing key runners from the UK, Ivory coast and Nigeria who are all up there in terms of sprinting" commented another.

"Looking forward to it! Hopefully it will expand in the future to other events as well" remarked another.
