'''Linford Christie''' is a guest on ''[[Countdown]]''. He is a much-decorated, Jamaican-born British former sprinter and athletics coach.

Amongst Chrisite's many accolades, he is the only British man to have won gold medals in the 100 metres at all four major competitions open to British athletes: the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the European Championships and the Commonwealth Games. He was the first European athlete to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 m and held the British record in the event for close to 30 years. He is a former world indoor record holder over 200 metres, and a former European record holder in the 60 metres, 100 m and 4 × 100 metres relay.

He remains one of the most highly decorated British athletes of all-time. By the end of his track career Christie had won 24 medals overall, more than any other British male athlete before or since. In 1993 he was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He recieved in MBE in 1990 and and OBE in 1998. In 1993, the West London Stadium was renamed to The Linford Christie Stadium in his honour. As a coach, his protegees have included Darren Campbell and another Dictionary Corner guest, [[Katharine Merry]]. Both these athletes went on to win Olympic and World medals.
