Named for the first wherever you go
Hundreds of cycles in column and row.
Grouped into teams oft coloured the same.
Hardly one in each will ever earn fame.
The race will begin when ball touches ground
Millions of cheers can be heard all around.
You expect it to start when northern half cools,
But location may often vary the rules.
Too fast or too slow, not so much a race,
As all are required to maintain one pace.
