The speedrunner Summoning Salt has documentary-style videos on his channel regarding the history of various speed runs for anyone interested in that sort of thing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUbO6rBht0daVIOGML3c8w

To point one video out there:

Blindfolded Mike Tyson's Punchout is an amazing niche documentary. To repeat, a blind speedrun of a very old boxing game. The level of skill and dedication that those runners have is just astonishing. In some strange way, it really makes you reevaluate the limits we humans have, and how they aren't anywhere close to where you think they actually are. It's a heck of an achievement. All that from a game with Mike Tyson on the headliner.

I recommend this insane 2-player, 1-controller blindfolded run of Punch-Out!! at AGDQ 2020, a live speedrunning event:
