No woman has ever won Wimbledon more than three times consecutively. The competition is generally fierce and winning involves many elements. Somehow, none of that really applied to Navratilova.
This player was famously unique and totally dominated the All-England club year after year. All in all, she claimed six titles in a row and an astonishing nine overall. That’s a lot of silver plates.
The Record-Breaking Losing streak
During the 1970s, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers arrived in the NFL in a terrible state. In their first year, they lost every single game. The following year they lost another 12, making them the team with the longest losing streak in history.
It's no easy feat to lose 26 games. You have to be on another level of bad for that to happen. Needless to say, the coach was fired and two leads later they , managed to turn things around. They made it to the NFC championship but then lost to the Rams.
Daryl Sittler Scored Six Goals In One Game
This hall of Famer holds the latest record for most NHL goals scored in one game. Daryl Sittler, who at the time was up against the Boston Bruins in 1976, scored six goals and four assists. That rookie goalie must have been completely crushed and will probably never recover.
During pre-NHL times, in 1920, "Phantom Joe" Malone scored seven goals in one game. But in the modern NHL gaming, even with the new weight on scoring, it's still hard to get a hat trick (three goals).
Phelps The Olympic King
Michael Phelps dominates the water completely. The Olympic champion's career spans five different Olympic Games and has broken the world record 39 times. Of those, 29 records were individual and the rest were relay races.
His most outstanding accomplishment that is currently unbreakable is his accumulation of 28 medals The next closes are 18 medals, so clearly, he is still pretty ahead.
Wayne Gretzky's Single Season Scoring Record
We already know that Wayne Gretzky maintains the most points scored in the NHL of all-time. There is more whoever, he also holds the record for most points in just one season. In 1985, Gretzky scored 215 points.
That was just one of the four times that Gretzky scored over 200 points in a season. The majority of NHL offensive players are happy to just score 100 goals in a season. Clearly that wasn't the case for Gretzky.
