Which Podium will remain the same between Tokyo and Paris

[Faramir 445]

I checked individual athletics and swimming (and diving) events and I think there's never been a fully repeated podium in consecutive Olympics?* Maybe this time with only a 3 year gap it could be different but it seems mighty hard, I wonder how many times in happened across all sports (in individual events).

 

*yes, exactly once, see below

Men's Handball.

Both field hockey tournaments are contenders for a repeat podium. But even with only like 5 serious contenders, there'a still so many factors in a team sport that an exact repeat remains a small chance.

 

Interesting question!

Maybe in women’s skateboard park?

Men's shot put 2016 -2020  exact same order Crouser - Kovacs - Walsh (and I think that is the only repeat podium ever in an individual event).

I'm sure there are more with the same 3 people, but I remembered this one:    M 200 IM   2008 Phelps - Cseh - Lochte 2012 Phelps - Lochte - Cseh.

Of that kind there are a lot more but I think the question was for the same podium in the same positions. Crouser-Kovacs-Walsh seems to be the only case individually: https://www.businessinsider.com/shot-put-olympians-won-same-medals-back-to-back-olympics-2021-8
