Streaks

I was just thinking about the fact that the US ladies won 8 consecutive bronze medals at Worlds, 1984 to 1991.

Of course, in some of those years they also won gold or silver, or both in 1991 when they swept the podium.

So what are some other interesting or fun medal streaks?

Australia to date has never won a medal. Does that count?

Obvious one: Russian or Soviet pairs won the Olympic gold for 12 consecutive Olympic games.

Russian ladies won the gold at Europeans 8 consecutive times, from 1996 to 2003.Granted, it was the same two ladies winning over and over

American ladies won JW bronze for 6 consecutive years - 2004-2009.

Joubert's streaks at both Euros and Worlds

Sonia Henie ... 11 medals straight (10 straight golds)

Michelle Kwan ... 9 medals straight

What about the every reigning American World Champion winning Olympic Gold until after Scott Hamilton?

ETA: not sure if this is right, but I remember them mentioning something of the like in commentary at the Olympics.

Laura Lepistö has competed three times in the Europeans and she has one of each medal: bronze-gold-silver.

Did anyone else think this thread was going to be about hair color?

That is not quite correct; it is that every American male who has gone into the Olympics as reigning world champion has won the gold medal, up to and including Evan Lysacek. This streak is still alive.

Grishuk & Platov's results at Worlds 1990-1994 were 5-4-3-2-1.
Platov was 6th in 1989 with his previous partner, so he went 6-5-4-3-2-1.

Nancy Kerrigan's results at US Nationals 1989-1993 were also 5-4-3-2-1. When I mentioned this on another site years ago, another poster pointed out that she could be considered to have finished "0th" in 1994.

I like Yu-na Kim's never off the Podium streak since her Junior years.

Thank you, I was in a hurry when I looked and only went to a certain year .

Thank you, I can never get it right!

I sort of thought maybe a skater was seen running naked.

That's a skid mark..not a streak.

[attyfan]

Does half-naked count? (I was thinking of the guy in the tutu and no shirt who appeared at Worlds 2004, just before Kwan's free)

Viktoria Volchkova won 4 consecutive bronze medals at Euros (1999-2002)

Did anyone else think this thread was going to be about hair color?

I did . and I expected loads of photos of very bad haircuts .
