Four throws into the event, Jessica Schilder got the first 19 metre throw with 19.01. Four more throws later, Dongmo added a foot to that with her 19.32m. A couple of throws later, Chase Ealey moved into third with 18.65. Three more throws and Fanny Roos did her one silly centimeter longer, 18.66.

In the third round, Roos's 19.22 put her into second place. In the fourth round, Ewen moved into third with 19.15, which lasted one throw until Schilder took the lead with 19.46. When Thomas-Dodd dropped 19.12, Ealey had been dropped to sixth place. She responded with 20.21, a new best throw in the last 6 years, equalling Michelle Carter's gold medal winning throw from 2016 which was also the North American Continental Record. Her world leading and event leading status lasted two more throws until Dongmo unleashed the winner 20.43 m (67 ft 1⁄4 in). In the sixth round, only Schilder was able to improve, her 19.48 confirmed the bronze medal.

The men's triple jump at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 19, 2016.
In the final, Dong Bin hit 17.18 on his first attempt, enough to win the competition. He later improved upon that with 17.29 in the third round and the ultimate winner 17.33 in the fifth. Benjamin Compaoré held down second place with a 16.77 in the first round, which he steadily improved three times. He looked to have enough for silver until Max Hess took his fourth attempt.

# Radiance (2017 film)

Radiance (光, Hikari) is a 2017 Japanese romance drama film directed by Naomi Kawase. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. At Cannes it won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury.

## Plot

Masako (Ayame Misaki) creates movie audio descriptions. Her passion and her commitment to her work leads her to create scripts full of colors and textures in order to make them as accessible as possible to blind audiences. She tests it on a group of 10 blind people. At one of the pre-premiere screenings, she meets Masaya (Masatoshi Nagase), a renowned photographer who gradually loses his sight and ability to practice his craft. Masaya's strong character makes him the only one to firmly criticize her scripts. He helps Masako see the coldness of her careful descriptions. Despite the differences that arise between them, both manage to create a strong relationship that allows them to explore a world previously invisible to their eyes. In the last scene of the film, the old man struggles to climb a small dune, at the top he stops facing the setting sun. This reflects the message transmitted by his impassive face without imposing a vision on the viewer.

# Nick Downie

Nicolas Jon Downie (27 May 1946 – 12 May 2021) was a British journalist and soldier.

## Education and early career

Nick Downie was educated at Haileybury and Imperial Service College, at the Middlesex Hospital and Stirling Lines. One year before his qualification as a doctor, Downie instead joined the Special Air Service as a Trooper.

## Career
### Military

Downie was the only civilian of 120 applicants to the Regular SAS, but one of six who were accepted into training. Later, Downie stated that at the time he was "your original 10½-stone weakling" but that it was his "all-consuming desire" to serve in the SAS that mattered more than physical fitness during the selection process. He was an instrumental figure in the Dhofar Rebellion, where he destroyed a South Yemen fort (with 1,050 lb of gelignite). The rebels were with Russian and Chinese support helping the infiltration of Oman by South Yemen. Downie’s final military engagement was with the Peshmerga in Iraqi Kurdistan fighting against Saddam Hussein in 1974–75.

### Journalist

He later worked as a war correspondent, winning multiple awards. The Royal Television Society recognised his work with three awards.
Downie became disillusioned by the viewers' desire for images over analysis.

## Personal life

In 2006, Downie started a 10,000-mile (16,000 km) journey by horseback from the Caucasus to South Africa.
He died on 12 May 2021, from COVID-19, at the age of 74 in South Africa.
