The International Racquetball Federation's 18th Racquetball World Championships were held in Cali , Colombia , from July 15 to 23, 2016. This was the first time Worlds were in Colombia, and the first time a South American country hosted the event since 1998, when Cochabamba , Bolivia , was the host city.
American Rocky Carson won gold for the fifth consecutive time, extending his career record, when he defeated Mexican Daniel De La Rosa , in the final, 15–11, 5–15, 11–5. But it was the first time that Carson needed a tie-breaker to win the final, and he also needed three games to advance to the final, as Bolivian Conrrado Moscoso took him to a tie-breaker in the semi-finals.
Tournament format
The 2016 World Championships used a two stage format with an initial group stage that was a round robin with the results used to seed players for a medal round.
