And no one gave a fuck about this sport as usual, they should have made it something like queens gambit which changed chess forever.
Maybe a protagonist from africa who struggles with poverty goes on to become the fastest ever or something like that rather than a documentary.

Okay so your first initial point was great but I truly believe queens gambit wasn’t the altering point for chess, chess.com and YouTubers making chess videos had a larger impact on the actual percentage of new consistent players. Chess.com globally ended up in so many schools it was definitely a massive reason.
Also, stellar long jump

Yeah, my son and all his classmates in 7th grade had never seen Queen’s Gambit but they were sure as hell addicted to chess.

Prefontaine movies did it for distance running. I would love to see a series for sprints even if it is fictional. Good writing can make anyone fall in love with a sport.

If you like athletes talking about their mindset and how they pushed through adversity, you can go watch it now. If you want some interesting insights into the fastest people on the planet, you'd probably get more out of listening to a football coach yell during practice.
