The announcer shouts into his microphone, enthused by the success he sees on the sports field.

The crowd stands, waves their arms, sings and hugs one another.

It has taken years of practice, training, straining and trying to improve.

The new champions are generous in congratulating their opponents.

The most popular colours are new ones and some are secretly discarding the old scarves of former victories.

People are celebrating or planning a come-back, depending on who they support.
