Double world 200 metre champion Shericka Jackson will feature in a new sports docu-series produced by American streaming platform Netflix.

Titled ‘Sprint’ the documentary series takes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at top athletes and delves deep into the psyche of elite competitors who train to be the fastest person on the planet.

Created by production company Box to Box Films (makers of Formula 1: Dare to Survive, Break Point, and Olympic Channel), the series will premiere in July – ahead of the Paris Olympics which is scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11.
