Freak Streaks: Unbelievable streaks in individual sports!

#5 Kaori Icho, Wrestling

Icho won 4 straight Olympic Golds

Freak Feat: 4 straight Olympic Golds, 10 straight World Championship Golds

If Saori Yoshida would ever be surpassed as the face of female wrestling, the most likely person to do it would be compatriot Kaori Icho. Icho participated in the 63 kg weight category until the 2013 World Championships after which she moved to the lower 58 kg weight category.

She is the only female athlete in Olympic history to win an individual Gold in 4 consecutive Olympic Games. She has enjoyed one of the longest streaks of winning in modern sporting history and she was undefeated from 2003 to January 2016, when she eventually lost to Mongolian Orkhon Purevdorzh, although she rebounded well after that loss to take the Olympic Gold a few months later.

Spectators of that match would remember how she snatched victory from the jaws of defeat despite trailing with 5 seconds left in the match. Indian fans would remember this weight category as it’s the same one in which Sakshi Malik won a Bronze.
