Podium sweep
A podium sweep is where a team or nation comes in first, second and third, such as at the Olympics, and wins all available medals, which are recognized by a podium ceremony. The word sweep is commonly used in North American sports such as baseball, basketball and ice hockey which have playoff or regular season series, to describe a situation where one team wins all the games in a series, for example, with a 4–0 victory in a best-of-seven series.
The term is also used in a broader sense when a country, team or athlete wins all possible prizes in a competition. [1] At the highest level, that would be when one nation wins all the medals in the Olympics.
