The Track is a 2025 Canadian documentary film, directed by Ryan Sidhoo. The film profiles three luge competitors from Sarajevo who are training on their semi-destroyed luge track from the 1984 Winter Olympics with the goal of competing in a future Olympic Games.
The film premiered at the True/False Film Festival, followed by a screening at the San Francisco International Film Festival.
It had its Canadian premiere at the 2025 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Wild State, the production company coâÂÂfounded by Chris Hemsworth, boarded the film ahead of its Sarajevo premiere to support sales.
As of August 30, 2025, The Track has received six "Fresh" reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
Robert Daniels of RogerEbert.com wrote that "You end up cheering because there is hard work by these subjects worth cheering for, and you cry because thereâÂÂs plenty in the film to cry about."
For Point of View, Courtney Small wrote that "As Sidhoo and cinematographer Jesse McCracken capture every dangerous curve the men navigate with sweeping beauty, the charms of the structure begin to shine through. Incorporating archival clips of its glory days in the âÂÂ90s, and interviews with locals and the lugers themselves, the film offers a compelling argument for why the course is important to the community, even if the locals do not quite see it themselves."
Peter Howell of the Toronto Star wrote that Sidhoo "crafts an affecting coming-of-age story, balancing exhilarating luge footage with intimate glimpses of daily life."
