Readability. Removed second separate question.
Dec 22, 2021 at 19:17 comment added Vickel I think only ROC and Russia would make sense to count as the same country (and eventually E/W Germany, where this is the other way around, a merger). Soviet Union was split in I don't know how many counties, same goes for former Yugoslavia, anyway, after gong through all disciplines (except the ones which are obvious for certain counties supremacy) I found an 8 streak for men and a 7 for woman in the summer games. The Winter games produce way lower streak possibilities, since winter sports are traditionally limited to countries with low temperatures
Dec 22, 2021 at 19:17 comment added justforplaylists @Vickel Not held is OK if it's one or two, but I would count it as breaking a streak if there's a period of decades without the event being held. To pick a number, let's say three not helds in a row are OK, but four isn't. Not helds don't count towards the length of the streak.
Dec 22, 2021 at 19:12 comment added justforplaylists @Vickel I would count ROC / Russia / Soviet Union as one country. I'd also say either East or West Germany would break a streak that includes Germany, but just having East and West without united Germany is OK.
Dec 22, 2021 at 17:27 comment added Vickel by @thefootsie's answer: would a "not held/not Olympic" break the streak? there are several disciplines which were in the early Olympics, then got replaced and reinstated afterwards (doesn't sound as a streak to me), also is ROC and Russia to be considered different countries?
