List of medal sweeps in Olympic athletics : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of medal sweeps in Olympic athletics A sweep is when one team wins all available medals in a single event in a sporting event. At the highest level, that would be when one nation wins all the medals in the Olympics.〔http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/sports/2012-08/10/c_131775139.htm〕 Many Olympic sports or events do not allow three entries into a single event in the Olympics, making a sweep impossible. But in Athletics the maximum for a single country is three. In the beginning, before the Olympics became a global event, sweeps were more common amongst fewer competing countries and larger numbers of entries from a single country. The 1904 Olympics, held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA were essentially a domestic meet; a side show to the St. Louis World's Fair. After that, a sweep became an increasingly treasured status symbol of national dominance in an event. 1964 was the first Olympiad to have no sweeps. Since then there were no sweeps in 1972, 1996 and 2000. While the majority of sweeps have been by the United States, the two most recent sweeps have been by Jamaica. Sweeps have happened in every long term event in the individual program, except the 5000 metres. It has happened eight times in the 200 metres and 110 metres hurdles, seven in the Shot Put. A steeplechase event has had a sweep five times, by four different countries. Ray Ewry led 5 sweeps, including three from 1904, with Irving Baxter, Charles King and Joseph Stadler joining him in two each and Robert Garrett in one, plus adding a different sweep in 1900. That other sweep joined Josiah McCracken who was part of a different sweep. Ellery Clark, Robert Garrett and |James Connolly swept two events together in 1896. Archie Hahn, Nate Cartmell and William Hogenson duplicated that in 1904, but there were so many American sweeps in 1904 that they don't really deserve being singled out. More recently, Carl Lewis has led three Olympic sweeps, Mike Powell has finished behind him in two. Yuriy Sedykh, Glenn Davis and Lee Calhoun have also led two sweeps. ==Men==
