I think maybe you've misread the intent.

I do not want to wait for the three fibers to finish. I want the whole process to stop the minute any of them have returned i.e. get me my data as quick as possible no matter its source.

I haven't.

You wait for the first result using i.e. a shared result channel, then you cancel the context.

It's still error prone in golang. Java's structured concurrency approach is much better.
