"Hot streak" redirects here. For other uses, see Hot streak (disambiguation).

A winning streak, also known as a win streak or hot 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 (in terms of time) 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.[1]

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 (another person broke it in a race that Darnyi did not compete in. He later reclaimed the record).

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.

Five drivers won the Indianapolis 500 back-to-back: Wilbur Shaw, Mauri Rose, Bill Vukovich, Al Unser Sr. and Hélio Castroneves.

Two owners won the Indianapolis 500 on 3 consecutive years: Lou Moore from 1947 to 1949, and Roger Penske from 2001 to 2003.

World Rally Championship[]

Sébastien Loeb won 9 consecutive drivers championships between2004 and 2012.[6] Loeb choose to not enter most events in 2013.[7]

The Frenchman also won 6 consecutive WRC events twice in 2005 and 2008-2009.

Lancia won 6 consecutive constructors championships between 1987 and 1992.

NASCAR Cup Series[]

Jimmie Johnson won 5 consecutive drivers championships between 2006 and 2010.

Chevrolet won 13 manufacturers championships between 2003 and 2015.

Richard Petty won 10 consecutive races in 1967.[8]

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 (36 currently), and a minimum race distance (first 250 miles (400 km), later shortened to 300 km (190 mi)). Since many pre-1972 races were under 100 miles (such as 62.5 mile races held in Islip, New York, and the current non-championship Budweiser Duel then being a championship race at 100 miles until 1967), 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, multiple drivers have won 4 consecutive races:

  • 1976 Cale Yarborough
  • 1981 Darrell Waltrip
  • 1987 Dale Earnhardt
  • 1991 Harry Gant
  • 1992 Bill Elliott
  • 1993 Mark Martin
  • 1998 Jeff Gordon
  • 2007 Jimmie Johnson

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.

  • Streak ended March 17, 2001 in Sydney, New South Wales, 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 (ABHoF). 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.
