We watch countless sports events on TV, but what about the compelling stories behind those hard-won Olympic medals? As seasoned sports media experts, we've long admired how NOS captures the human side of elite athletics.
Olympic Documentary Series
NOS is building excitement for the London Olympics with a captivating four-part series. It intimately follows Dutch medal contenders: gymnast Epke Zonderland, judoka Edith Bosch, windsurfer Dorian van Rijsselberghe, and the women's relay swim team. Filmed over recent months, these documentaries deliver raw, emotional narratives straight from the athletes.
The Authentic Athlete Experience
Award-winning directors Vlado Veljanoski, Kees Jongkind, Ayolt Kloosterboer, and Martin Vriesema go beyond gold medals. They explore the realities of top-tier sports: athletes' insecurities, rivalries, and triumphs. Catch the episodes on Nederland 3 at around 9:30 pm on July 5, 12, 19, and 26.
