We start with cricket, and Australia has plenty to do at the World Twenty20 tournament in India.
A loss to New Zealand in their opening game on Friday night means the Aussies likely need to win all three remaining games in their group to make the semi-finals.
That task starts against Bangladesh in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Captain Steve Smith says its a hard task, but one his team is capable of.
"We're still confident. We've obviously got to turn it around very quickly with our next game at Bangalore. But I'm confident with the group we've got that we can do that, and hopefully we can come out and win."
Australia's women's team started better, beating South Africa; their next game is against New Zealand on Monday night.
If the men want some inspiration as far as turning things around is concerned, they need look no further than the tournament hosts.
India lost their opening game, also to New Zealand, but came back to beat arch-rivals Pakistan in the tournament's most-anticipated game.
Virat Kohli was the hero, scoring 55 not out on a difficult pitch as India won by six wickets.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni says Kohli's approach is what sets him apart.
"Different people look at the same thing in different ways. I feel his (Virat Kohli) biggest plus-point is he takes everything as a challenge, he wants to improve, he wants to contribute in each and every game and that's what it's all about."
In football, the Western Sydney Wanderers are back on top of the A-League, but it was more perspiration than inspiration that did it.
The Wanderers dominated their game against Adelaide United, but could only manage a nil-all draw.
Though coach Tony Popovic says he's not overly concerned about his side's inability to take all three points from the match.
"At this stage, we're doing well. I believe we've done well throughout the whole season. We never really looked like losing the game tonight. Now, we just move on. We move on to Melbourne Victory away, and we're at the top, and that's where we want to remain."
Only three rounds remain until the finals.
The focus now moves to the Socceroos, who will play their final two first stage World Cup qualifiers against Tajikistan on Thursday (24 march) and Jordan on Tuesday week (29 March) as they attempt to seal their spot in the next phase of qualification for Russia 2018.
In motorsport, the Formula One season made its traditional start in Melbourne, and whilst it was a new season, it was the same old story when it came to the actual race.
It was a Mercedes one-two in the Australian Grand Prix, with Nico Rosberg winning the race and team mate Lewis Hamilton coming second.
With the behemoth Mercedes has become in recent times, it's little wonder Rosberg credits his team for his success on the opening race weekend of 2016.
"It's a great weekend. Thankyou to the team. They've done an unbelievable job, giving us this incredible car. The car's just been unreal today. To beat the Ferraris was great. So we absolutely loved it, and I'm supr, super excited."
Perhaps bigger talking points are the crash McLaren's Fernando Alonso was lucky to survive after his car rolled twice and was smashed to pieces, as well as the quickly-discarded new qualifying system.
All teams have agreed to go back to the old system for the next race in Bahrain in two weeks.
And in rugby league, South Sydney star Greg Inglis has made a spectacle of himself - for once, for all the wrong reasons.
Down 8 points to 6 very late in the match against St George Illawarra, Inglis tried to kick a field goal and missed.
Problem is: a field goal's only worth one point, so even if he made it, South Sydney wouldn't have been in the lead or even levelled the scores.
The Melbourne Storm are the only side to start the season with three wins from three matches after they beat the New Zealand Warriors 21 to 14 in Auckland.
After the game, captain Cameron Smith told Fox Sports the key to Melbourne's latest victory was as simple as hanging onto the ball and not making errors.
"Our completion rate* was probably the best part of our game today. The Warriors were very good; their defensive pressure was outstanding, particularly in that second half. We didn't really have much field position in that last 40 minutes. We wanted to improve on our ball handling - it hasn't been that great in the first two rounds - so I think that's what got us over the line today."
The AFL season starts on Thursday, with Richmond playing Carlton in Melbourne.
