A podium sweep is when one team wins all available medals in a single event in a sporting event. It is often a rare occurrence that often happens in athletics, cycling and swimming. Since the Paralympic Games started in 1960, there have been 79 podium sweeps (updated to the 2020 Summer Paralympics).[1]
