Clarification needed!!

DT cryptic - help! can anyone tell me why 21a is sprint - I just don't see the connection unless sprint is wrong... also 18 down - why is the answer ken? I can't see it, but it just might be an absent brain! - and is 22 down import or impost, and if either, why? Thanks for any help.
