Fast Girls is a 2012 British sports drama film directed by Regan Hall, and produced by Damian Jones.

The film follows the story of two women and their race and personal differences as they become professional sprinters and join the British relay team for a World Championship event.

Her diligent training comes to fruition where she wins the 200m dash against the well-known, entitled runner Lisa Temple at a regional track meet.

The rivalry gets toxic and upsets Andrews, and the first exhibition indoor race turns into a disaster, as she had stayed up the previous night, falling back into her past self-destruction behaviour with her sister and dubious friends at the government housing complex.

Shanaia decides to focus on the solo 200m and abandons the relay team in anger much to the dismay of the coach, who is trying to patch things up between the two rivals.

At the world championships, held in London before the 2012 Olympics, both Shanaia and Lisa have disappointing position finishes in the 200m open race, despite personal-best times, as they are easily beaten by dominant US and Jamaican teams.

Due to an out-of-lane technical fault, however, the French 3rd place finishers are disqualified and the UK slips into the finals despite the problems of the runners.

The revelation proves successful as both Shanaia and Lisa perfect the overhand handoff technique (a faster but less reliable method of transferring the baton).

[5] Casting was conducted in Regent's Park in London, where producer Damian Jones and first time movie director Regan Hall chose the four actresses who would become the 4×100 metre relay team in the film.

[3] Lily James wasn't able to participate in the audition in Regent's Park, but instead made a video recording of herself running for the casting.

[6] The actresses portraying athletes completed six weeks of intensive training at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre prior to the beginning of the shooting phase of the film.

[11] Mark Adams gave the film four out of five stars for the Daily Mirror, calling it an uplifting bit of pre-Olympics entertainment.
