Sprint
Director: Robert Ryan Producer: John Battsek A unique look at the lives of four of Britain's youngest and fastest 100m sprinters as they compete against each other for the ultimate title. Shot over a two year period, and featuring the highs and lows of the committed athlete, the film builds up to the Beijing Olympics and en route eventually to the London 2012 Olympics. ''…an enthralling film about four young Brit 100m runners looking to qualify for Beijing 2008 and beyond… it's impossible not to get caught up in the dedication necessary to compete at the highest level, with racing psychology, injuries, funding and personal development all integral to success. Inspiring stuff.'' Time Out ''There is no better way to get psyched up for the excitement of the Olympics than to watch Robert Ryan's documentary…The training and competition is ferocious; each stride they take hits the track with the equivalent force of eight times their body weight, and their goal is nothing less than to win Olympic gold and be named the fastest man on the planet.'' The Times ''Athletics fans hungry for a foretaste of Beijing 2008 (which starts on Friday) are bound to enjoy this look at the lives of Britain’s young 100m sprinters and their journey towards the Olympics Games… It's fascinating to watch their times improve over two years of filming and find out which of them makes it into Team Great Britain.
