/**
* Returns an observable that mirrors the first source observable to emit an item.
*
* 
*
* `race` returns an observable, that when subscribed to, subscribes to all source observables immediately.
* As soon as one of the source observables emits a value, the result unsubscribes from the other sources.
* The resulting observable will forward all notifications, including error and completion, from the "winning"
* source observable.
*
* If one of the used source observable throws an errors before a first notification
* the race operator will also throw an error, no matter if another source observable
* could potentially win the race.
*
* `race` can be useful for selecting the response from the fastest network connection for
* HTTP or WebSockets. `race` can also be useful for switching observable context based on user
* input.
*
* ## Example
*
* Subscribes to the observable that was the first to start emitting.
*
* ```ts
* import { interval, map, race } from 'rxjs';
*
* const obs1 = interval(7000).pipe(map(() => 'slow one'));
* const obs2 = interval(3000).pipe(map(() => 'fast one'));
* const obs3 = interval(5000).pipe(map(() => 'medium one'));
*
* race(obs1, obs2, obs3)
* .subscribe(winner => console.log(winner));
*
* // Outputs
* // a series of 'fast one'
* ```
*
* @param sources Used to race for which `ObservableInput` emits first.
* @return An Observable that mirrors the output of the first Observable to emit an item.
