There’s always something so poetic about a story told well, especially when it’s ours. SuperSport’s Chasing the Sun 2 has officially been nominated for an International Emmy® Award for Best Sports Documentary, a moment that feels bigger than television. It feels like South Africa :  loud, proud, and in colour, stands tall on the global stage.

The five-part series revisits the Springboks’ historic 2023 Rugby World Cup victory, offering an unfiltered look at the bruises, belief, and brotherhood that carried them to a record-breaking fourth title. From Siya Kolisi’s leadership to the emotional highs and headline-making lows, the documentary doesn’t just celebrate the win, it honors the humanity behind it.

Directed by Gareth Whittaker and produced by T+W for SuperSport, this marks the team’s second International Emmy nod in three years, proof that South African storytelling is not only world-class but world-shifting.

As SuperSport celebrates 30 years as the “World of Champions,” this nomination lands as a fitting tribute. It’s a reminder that the heart of our sporting excellence lies not just in the game, but in the stories we choose to tell about it.
