Winning streak


A winning streak is an uninterrupted sequence of success in games or competitions, commonly measured by wins that are uninterrupted by losses or ties/draws. In sports, it can be applied to teams, and individuals. In sports where teams or individuals represent groups such as countries or regions, those groups can also be said to have 'winning streaks' if their representatives win consecutive games or competitions, even if the competitors are different. Streaks can also be applied to specific competitions: for example a competitor who wins an event in three consecutive Olympic Games has an Olympic winning streak, even if they have lost other competitions during the period.

Longest streaks

The longest recorded winning streak in any professional sports is Spain's Antoni Bou having won 26 consecutive world championships in Motorcycle Trials between 2007 and today, he is still active in the sport. Pakistan's Jahangir Khan's 555 consecutive wins in squash from 1981 to 1986 is also of significant note. In 2013, the Dutch wheelchair tennis player Esther Vergeer retired with an active 10-year-long winning streak of 470 matches, including a streak of 250 consecutive sets won.

Weissmuller never lost a swimming race during his entire amateur career, including three individual Olympic gold medals. He is purported to have told the other swimmers in his Olympic final that they could fight it out for second place.
[Tamás Darnyi]
Darnyi was undefeated his entire international career in both the 200m and 400m Individual medley races, lasting from 1985 to 1993, though he did not hold the world record for the entirety of the period.
[Roland Matthes]
Matthes was undefeated in the 100 and 200 meter backstroke races from 1968–1974, though he lost the world record in races he did not compete in during that span. He later lost both records for good at the end of his career when he earned a bronze in the 100m backstroke behind John Naber, who also set the world record in the 200m backstroke.
[Vladimir Salnikov]
Salnikov won all 61 of his 1500m freestyle races from 1977 to 1986. The streak ended when he finished fourth at the 1986 FINA World Championships.
[Michael Phelps]
Michael Phelps was undefeated in the finals of the 200m butterfly for ten years. Before the 2012 Olympics where he was defeated by Chad le Clos. The last time Phelps had lost the race was in 2002 when he lost to Olympic champion Tom Malchow at the 2002 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships.

9 consecutive World Championships – Sébastien Loeb
10 wins – 1967 Richard Petty
Note: Because of the post-1972 schedule overhaul, NASCAR will differentiate records from pre-1972 and post-1972. The primary schedule overhaul eliminated midweek races, thus cutting the schedule from 48 to around 30 races, and a minimum race distance. Since many pre-1972 races were under 100 miles, some NASCAR records are differentiated that way, similar to the NBA differentiating "fewest points" records with pre and post-1954 records, when the 24-second shot clock was introduced.
;Post–1972
4 wins :
Note: In seven of the eight instances, at least one of the wins was in a 500-mile race. Mark Martin's 1993 streak ended at Darlington, where the Mountain Dew Southern 500 was stopped 16 laps early because of darkness.

Wayland Baptist instead played in competitions sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union.

[Down Under (Australian) Baseball Champions]
7 consecutive titles – Glenelg Tigers, Adelaide, South Australia
The team's winning streak was honored by their host city of Adelaide and will forever be known as 'The Magnificent Seven'.
Coached by Peter Ross, Australian Baseball Hall of Fame.
Star Players were Russell Freeman and Preston Davis both of whom are in the ABHoF. Davis was also a heroic American soldier who served in four wars. He hit the final home run of his career in his final at bat. The day after winning his final championship he boarded a 747 and returned to America. He never played again. In seven years in Australia he never missed a game, hit.545 and was clutch when his team needed him the most. He often got the big hit when his team was down, he was an RBI machine. He will forever be known as Mr Baseball in Australia. Davis attributed his success to always going to the batting cages every single day and hitting 100 pitches.

Note: The Giants tied the Pirates in the second game of a doubleheader 1–1 on September 18, 1916. Major League Baseball excludes all games which end in ties from their official statistics. The longest winning streak in Major League Baseball that does not include a tie is 22 games, achieved by the Cleveland Indians in 2017, which is also the longest winning streak in the American League. The National League record for consecutive wins without a tie is 21 games, by the 1935 Chicago Cubs.
