2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Men's 60 Metres
The men's 60 metres at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 18, 2016. Asafa Powell has spent a career where he was (until the advent of Usain Bolt), the fastest man in the world, but championships have evaded him. In the opening heats, most athletes try to get to the next round without fully extending themselves.
