Winning streak
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 at least 3 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 world championships has a winning streak at the world championships, even if they have lost other competitions during the period.
Olympic winning streaks can be found at List of winning streaks in the Olympic Games.
Longest streaks
The longest (in terms of time) recorded winning streak in any professional sports is Spain's Antoni Bou, having won 32 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]

Johnny Weissmuller
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 (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.
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.

IndyCar
Sébastien Bourdais won 4 consecutive Champ Car World Series titles between 2004 and 2007.
A. J. Foyt won 7 consecutive USAC Champ Car races in 1964, not counting the non-points Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
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 between 2004 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.
