Achieving The Perfect 10 is a television documentary film released on CNN on August 10, 2003 about young girls training gymnastics at the highly competitive Parkettes National Gymnastics Training Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

The documentary follows several Parkettes gymnasts—ranging from the novice competitor Ashley Barry to the elites Nicole Harris, Annie Fogerty and Kristina Coccia—through their daily training routines. It focuses largely on the dynamics between the athletes and their coaches, their parents' sacrifices, expectations and observations, and their experiences dealing with injuries and preparing for competitions.

Several sequences in the documentary have sparked controversy and debate in the gymnastics community and others, such as one in which a seven-year old gymnast works out on a broken ankle at the urging of her parents. After it was aired for the first time on CNN, Parkettes' coaches and some gymnasts stated that the documentary did not present an accurate picture of the gym.

Le film Olympia 52 peut être considéré comme un documentaire. il s'agit d'une commande de la Direction Générale de la Jeunesse et des Sports. Le film de Chris Marker s'attache à montrer ce que le public présent dans les tribunes peut voir du déroulement des épreuves olympiques. On y retrouve donc les images des compétitions mais aussi des scènes de préparation des athlètes. Cela donne un rythme particulier au film avec une alternance de "temps forts" et de "temps faibles". On peut également observer de nombreux plans de coupes montrant le public dans les tribunes. Ce dernier point est né d'une contrainte imposée par le comité olympique pour le tournage des films amateurs depuis les gradins. Chris Marker en a fait un parti pris qui donne au film une autre vision du sport plus centrée sur ceux qui le regardent que ceux qui le pratiquent.

In the build-up to the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympic Games, Pilger finds that the elaborate preparations for the Olympics are overshadowing the reality of many Australia's Aboriginal citizens, who he argues continue to remain excluded, impoverished and mistreated in Australia. The film uses sport as a mechanism to draw attention to and tell the story of the injustices endured by Aboriginal Australians while also arguing that Aboriginal Australians could have had a much more significant impact on Australian sport if they had not been deliberately prevented from doing so.

Dans la plus pure tradition du direct, Isabelle Lavigne et Stéphane Thibault ont suivi pendant un an le parcours de jeunes joueurs d’une équipe de hockey junior : le Drakkar de Baie-Comeau. Refusant la facilité des plans de joutes de hockey, leur démarche patiente scrute à la loupe les coulisses du jeu et ses protagonistes : joueurs, gérants, actionnaires... Proximité des personnages, souci du détail et de l’émotion, le film nous rend palpable le stress intense que subissent ces adultes en devenir.
