In track and field, the commands for starting a race typically include "On your marks," "Set," and then the start signal, often a gunshot. Competitors first position themselves in starting blocks at the "On your marks" command. Then, they assume a ready position with their hips raised at "Set," and finally, the race begins when the starter fires the gun or uses another signal. These commands help ensure a fair and organized start to the race.
IT Can be if used correctly for example, verb- You will start the race here. noun- The start of the race is here.

Athletes typically react to the sound of the starting gun with a surge of adrenaline and heightened focus, as it signifies the beginning of the race. The sharp, loud noise triggers an immediate response, prompting them to launch into action with speed and precision. Many have trained to respond instinctively to this cue, allowing them to execute their start efficiently. Overall, the gunshot serves as both a signal and a psychological trigger, marking the transition from preparation to competition.
It means that you start the race before they tell you to start it! Basicly you cheat it.
