What is the "starting line"?
The starting line is the designated point where athletes begin a race or event. It is typically marked clearly on the track or field and serves as the official beginning of the competition. Athletes position themselves at the starting line, in a crouched or standing position, ready to start when signaled. In races, the goal is to speed up quickly from the starting line and maintain speed throughout the event. The starting line is used in both running events and some field events, marking the point from which the performance begins.
Example
The starting line is crucial for a strong start in track events.
