India's men's hockey team won six consecutive Olympic gold medals from 1928 (Amsterdam) through 1956 (Melbourne). This unprecedented winning streak established India's early dominance in field hockey. The sequence was: Amsterdam 1928, Los Angeles 1932, Berlin 1936, London 1948 (after WWII hiatus), Helsinki 1952, and Melbourne 1956. The streak ended in 1960 when Pakistan won gold.
