An intimate, dramatic, and revealing seven-part documentary series that follows six athletes as they prepare to compete in the biggest sporting event on the planet - the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. From World Record holders and global superstars to aspiring young medal prospects and cultural icons, each athlete is at a different point in their career and representing an eclectic diaspora of sports as the Olympics continues to modernise and embrace change. Each episode addresses a critical aspect of what it is to be an elite sports star in the build-up to a legacy-defining event like the Olympics; from mastering time, to the psychology required to perform under pressure, an exploration of the canvas of sport and how each differs in terms of performance, expression and metrics, and even the business side of sport as the athletes hustle for profile, sponsorship, or even a place at the Games themselves. From first chances to last chances and against-all-odds comebacks, everything is on the line. The countdown to Paris 2024 starts here.
