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 4 wins that are uninterrupted by losses or ties/draws. Although sometimes claimed as a winning streak by those unaccustomed to winning, simply winning two games in a row is most definitely not a win streak. 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 Sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
