"A lot of people will go in the races and they’ll think you have to run times. It’s not about times, you’ve just gotta be in front of everybody. That’s the secret."

"A sculpture titled B of the Bang by British designer Thomas Heatherwick takes its name from a quotation by Linford Christie in which he said that he started his races not merely at the "bang" of the starting pistol, but at "the B of the Bang"."
