The men's pole vault at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 17, 2016.The men's and women's pole vault competition were the only events on the opening day. They were conducted simultaneously with two parallel runways down the center of the arena. The runways were at floor level, unlike the more common raised runways which is a more dangerous situation; one which resulted in the injury to Renaud Lavillenie minutes after setting the world record two years earlier. It was that injury that prevented Lavillenie from defending his world indoor title at the previous championship, but he was back this year with the world leading jump going into the competition.Of the 14 competitors, six had already left the competition before Lavillenie even bothered to make his first attempt at 5.75, 2 hours into the competition. All of the competitors in this field had cleared 5.75, most of them this season, but no other had the confidence to wait until 5.75 for their opening height. Piotr Lisek had already cleared the height, but he already had a miss earlier in the competition, so with his easy clearance, shrugging before landing in the pit, Lavillenie was immediately in the lead. Jan Kudli��ka and Shawn Barber struggled to clear on their third attempt. That would be the best those other jumpers would achieve. Sam Kendricks was still perfect in the competition to that point but had sat out 5.75. He remained perfect at 5.80 to take the lead while Lavillenie confidently passed and the others failed. Kendricks failed at his first attempt at 5.85, Barber and Lisek also saved one heroic attempt for 5.85, while Lavillenie remained on the sidelines. Kendricks then passed to 5.90 and failed again. Lavillenie then picked up his pole, almost 45 minutes after his first attempt and cleared the bar in only his second attempt of the evening. Kendricks took one final attempt to stay in the competition but had to settle for silver. Lavillenie continued, moving the bar to 6.02 he rattled the bar on his way down but it stayed on the pegs and he remained perfect in the competition. Lavillenie then had the bar raised another half a foot to world record height 6.17 m (20 ft 23���4 in), though none of the attempts were close.

The women's high jump at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 20, 2016.Four athletes were perfect through 1.93, Sofie Skoog, Lavern Spencer, masters world record holder Ruth Beitia and still in high school, Vashti Cunningham, the new indoor world junior record holder. Airin�� Pal��yt�� and Kamila Li��winko also managed the height but with several misses in the competition. At 1.96, Cunningham cleared it with room to spare on her first attempt, keeping the perfect round going, which turned out to be the gold medal performance. Beitia and Li��winko cleared it on their second attempt with Beitia's perfect round beforehand being the difference for her silver medal. Pal��yt�� also cleared 1.96 on her last attempt, but it was too little, too late. All athletes tried 1.99. The three medalists had been over 1.99 in the past but nobody made it on this day.Cunningham becomes the youngest female Indoor World Champion, just one day older than the youngest male, Mohammed Aman from the 2012 Championships.

She started the 60m hurdles with the fastest time of the day. Her high jump was the second best putting her firmly in the lead. In the shot put, Theisen-Eaton's 13.70 put her in the middle of the field, but paled in comparison to Alina Fyodorova's 15.44 personal best. And Anastasiya Mokhnyuk's 15.01 pushed both Ukrainian women ahead. In the Long Jump, extended her lead with a 6.66 personal best, while Fyodorova maintained second place. Going into the final event, the 800 metres, the medalists were apparently settled, Theisen-Eaton over a hundred points ahead of 4th place Gy��rgyi Zsivoczky-Farkas but 36 points behind Fodorova and 140 points behind Mokhnyuk. Theisen-Eaton's faster 800 expected to overtake Fodorova for silver. In the race, Barbara Nwaba charged out to the lead with Theisen-Eaton marking her through 30 and 33 second laps. Even with the fast first half of the race, by the end of the third lap the lead pair had not dropped the pack enough to change the outcome. But Theisen-Eaton launched into a sprint that ultimately beat Nwaba to the finish line, a personal best 2:09.99 worth 965 points. Nwaba's 2:10.07 gave her enough of a gap on Zsivoczky-Farkas to get 4th place by 5 points. Further behind were Fodorova and even further to Mokhnyuk. Not only had Theisen-Eaton advanced to silver, she gained enough to get gold.Less than a month after the event, Mokhnyuk tested positive for meldonium. If the IAAF decides to apply a predated suspension, as is common, she would be disqualified and the awards could be redistributed. Meldonium was only added to the list of prohibited substances on January 1, 2016. WADA is investigating whether a plethora of positive test results from early 2016 could be the residual result of usage prior to the ban.

The women's triple jump at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 19, 2016.The first round of jumps were mostly disappointments to these 14 meter jumpers as Keturah Orji was the only one to break that barrier with 14.13. Four more athletes broke 14 in the second round, with Paraskevi Papachristou barely taking the lead with 14.15 and doing a dance to celebrate. The lead lasted barely 2 minutes before newcomer Yulimar Rojas popped 14.41. That jump stood up as the winner of the competition, neither Rojas or Panturoiu could find the board for the rest of their attempts. Kristin Gierisch edged into second place with a fourth round 14.16, then confirmed her silver medal with a 14.30 in the fifth round. As the Olympics go to South America for the first time, Rojas joins Caterine Ibarg��en as South American athletes at the top of world championships in this event.

One day after her 35th birthday, Fabiana Murer improved upon the listed Masters W35 world record by clearing 4.60. At 4.70, Eliza McCartney set her indoor New Zealand National Record, but barely a footnote considering she had cleared 4.80 at her outdoor national championships just 12 days earlier. She passed her next jump to that same 4.80 mark. At 4.75, the world record holder (improved earlier this season) Jenn Suhr took only her second attempt of the competition to tie for the lead with Ekaterini Stefanidi, who had jumped clean at 5 heights. Nicole B��chler missed twice at 4.75 and put all her marbles on a final attempt at a personal best 4.80. She made it, setting the Swiss National Record. Sandi Morris also made it on her first attempt and Stefanidi kept her perfect streak going. At 4.85, Stefanidi and B��chler failed while both Americans Morris and Suhr were successful. Having nothing to gain at 4.85 Stefanidi and B��chler took their remaining attempts at 4.90. After everyone else failed at 4.90, Suhr cleared it on only her fourth attempt of the competition which ultimately gave her the gold. With silver confirmed, Morris took her last attempt at 4.95 but after it failed, Suhr packed up her poles. Stefanidi's perfect round until 4.80 gave her the bronze.

But the personal best came before a 2014 injury. Her 2015 season was still hampered by recovery. Ivana ��panovi�� wasn't reading the paper and took the first round lead with a new indoor personal best 7.00, just short of her outdoor personal best of 7.02. Reese jumped 6.97 to assume second place but couldn't match that until her fifth round jump when she equalled it exactly. For a little over a minute, Reese held the lead based on the tie breaking second best jump. ��panovi�� broke that up by jumping a new National Record / personal best 7.07. With her one remaining jump, Reese pulled out the big gun, letting out a scream as she boomed her 7.22 m (23 ft 81���4 in) winner, just 1 cm below her indoor personal best, set to win this championship 4 years earlier, also on her last jump.Behind the battle for gold, Lorraine Ugen was in third place after the first round with a 6.62.

In three strides, Taplin was beaten. Four metres behind them, Abdalelah Haroun executed an identical move on Deon Lendore. Taplin was spent and disappeared out the back.

The women's 60 metres hurdles at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 18, 2016.In the final, Angela Whyte had the best start, while Kendra Harrison led the American pack in the center of the track. While Harrison was the first to the first hurdle, she hit it flat with her shoe, losing her balance and all momentum. She was unable to clear the second hurdle in stride and was out of contention. To her left Brianna Rollins was clean over the first hurdles while on her right Nia Ali hit the first and was half a meter behind. Rollins' speed between the hurdles easily passed Whyte, while Ali gained a little ground aggressively snapping over each hurdle. Coming off the last hurdle, Rollins lead was only inches, but Ali was able to make up just enough ground to out lean Rollins at the finish. To Ali's right, Tiffany Porter came off the first hurdle even with Ali, but her taller, more upright running form lost a little ground as Ali was chasing Rollins. Still Porter was clearly the next best of the field.

He improved that on his second jump to a National Record equalling 8.18. Still in the same round, Americans Marquis Dendy and Jeff Henderson improved to the top two places, Dendy with a 8.26 m (27 ft 1 in) and Henderson edging into second with an 8.19. Neither improved after that. In the third round, Fabrice Lapierre jumped a continental record 8.25 to break up the duo, his 8.25 just 1 cm behind Dendy. Huang Changzhou also equalled Henderson with a personal best 8.19, but Henderson held the tiebreaker. Over the next two round, Henderson improved his tiebreaker advantage but could not improve his best. On his final jump, Huang improved his personal best again to 8.21 to take the bronze medal. The top 5 competitors were only separated by 8 cm. So close was the competition, minus their best jumps, Dendy would have finished in 5th position and Lapierre 11th, not even making the final.

The women's 3000 metres at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 20, 2016.The favorite was obviously world record holder Genzebe Dibaba, but the Outdoor World Championships revealed an achilles heel, a long, drawn out kick. The finals started off at a jog with Stephanie Twell and then Sviatlana Kudzelich on the front controlling the pace. After six laps of this, Dibaba took off, running a 30 second lap and putting a 12 metre gap on the field. From there, Dibaba maintained the gap then increased it at the end as the clear winner. After Twell was the last to try to hold on to Dibaba, Meseret Defar was the last to chase. Too familiar a situation from the past with Defar chasing a Dibaba, but those were Genzebe's older sister Tirunesh. Defar had to take silver, still clear of the rest of the field. It was her seventh medal in this event, dating back to 2003. Behind them, Shannon Rowbury used her best 1500 metres kick to separate from Maureen Koster for bronze.

Dawit Wolde, Aman Wote followed and Matt Centrowitz affixed himself to the outside in third place. At 800 metres (jogged in 2:07.88), Chris O'Hare made a run at the lead, but everybody just sped up and maintained their formation. With 400 metres to go, Nicholas Willis made a stronger move to the front which succeeded, Souleiman disappeared out the back with the other leaders in hot pursuit. With a lap to go, Centrowitz managed to get past Wolde for some free running room at Willis three metres ahead. Centrowitz eased his way closer to Willis through the next three quarters of a lap, making a strong move off the final turn sprinting ahead to a one metre victory. From seventh place, more than 10 metres behind, Jakub Holu��a pulled out to lane 2 and sprinted around the field. Coming down the final straightaway he looked like he was in a 400 metre race, dipping at the line just ahead of Willis and barely a half a metre behind Centrowitz. From even further back, Robby Andrews followed Holu��a and pipped both Ethiopian runners for fourth place at the line.

Mateusz Kowalczyk and Igor Zelenay were the defending champions but chose to participate with different partners. Kowalczyk partnered Tomasz Bednarek while Zelenay partnered Rameez Junaid.

Down the backstretch she tangled legs, possibly with Poland's Ewelina Ptak and Nigeria's Margaret Bamgbose behind her. Suddenly Hall was down on her face, hard. The race was running away from her. With their closest competitors out of the race, the USA had no one near them and no traffic. They extended their lead with each leg, setting a new national record with an easy victory. Behind them was a close battle for the other medals, Romania holding the early lead with Nigeria's Regina George and Poland's Ma��gorzata Ho��ub edging ahead of Elena Mirela Lavric at the end of the second leg.

In the second round, Michelle Carter took the lead, which she solidified in the third round, even though Adams hit her best throw of the competition in that round. Adams may not be back to 100% after the multiple surgeries which caused her absence in Beijing, her best more than a meter short of where she would normally be throwing.

That lasted only long enough for Carter to make her final attempt, 20.21 m (66 ft 31���2 in) was almost a 3-foot improvement for the winner.

The 2016 Heritage Classic (known as the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic for sponsorship reasons) is an upcoming regular season outdoor National Hockey League (NHL) game that will be held on October 23, 2016. The game will feature the Edmonton Oilers and the Winnipeg Jets at Investors Group Field, home of the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers. This will be the fourth NHL Heritage Classic game, and the first of four outdoor regular season games during the 2016-17 NHL season. Unusual for the NHL outdoor games, the 2016 Heritage Classic will be held in mid-autumn, during the first month of the regular season, due to the harsher winter temperatures of Winnipeg.The Jets originally announced in 2013 that they had reached an agreement with the NHL to host the game, to celebrate five years since the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg, returning the NHL to Manitoba after a fifteen-year absence. The team had originally wanted to host the game in 2015���16, its actual fifth season. However, a disagreement occurred between the NHL and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers over the game's exact date: the league wanted it held in December 2015 while the football team became concerned that this date was too close to the 103rd Grey Cup being held at the stadium on November 29. In January 2015, the Jets announced that they could not reach an agreement to finalize a date for the Heritage Classic during the 2015-16 season. On March 6, 2016, the NHL officially announced that the Jets will host the Oilers in the 2016 Heritage Classic during the 2016���17 NHL season; the Blue Bombers will be on a bye week that week and will play their last home game before the Heritage Classic on October 8, giving nearly two weeks to prepare the stadium.
