So, to me, the race proved that when the playing field is level, I can compete and do well.

I think this race proved one thing: in short track, the result is not predictable.

The race would prove to exact a heavy toll upon drivers.

But now the presidential race has proved them wrong.

This race proved to be a lot closer for Shrake as his popular vote was cut in half from 1982.

In an overwhelmingly Republican year, the race proved to be contentious.

The race proved to be a brutal trial of endurance.

When the election was held, the race proved much less close than expected.

Although it is considered a close contest, the primary race may well prove to be the easy part.

The race for mayor has proved so far to be one of the more entertaining political stories in France.
