[Closed] The Friday Performance and Photography thread - Going on the "B" in bang edition

The theme? The "B" in bang...

The start line, the explosion of speed when it's time to move. Sprinters, cars, bikes, rugby, whatever. Let's see those moments of launching, embodied in the finest sporting photography you can find.

For example -
