Hat trick

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under a hat trick (. English hat trick ) is understood in some sports - primarily for football and hockey - the achievement of three consecutive goals by the same player in one game. Depending on the type of sport and the language area, it is sometimes necessary for the same player to score three goals within one game time (e.g. half time, third of the game).

The expression is often used in sports reporting when an individual athlete or a team wins a championship, trophy or other sports competition three times in a row ("title hat trick"), has achieved a special sporting performance three times in a row (e.g. B. "Medal Hat Trick") or a special award three times in a row.

In international football, scoring three goals by a player in a game counts as a hat trick, which is why, for example, the three English goals in the final of the 1966 World Cup by Geoff Hurst are rated as a hat trick. In order to differentiate the “German” hat trick from the international definition, the term “flawless hat trick” or “classic hat trick” is often used colloquially. In German football, a hat trick means that the three goals have been scored in a single half of the game, which is why the attributes “flawless”, “classic” or “golden” are not necessary, but are usually used anyway.

In motorsport - especially in Formula 1 - a "hat trick" is the performance when a driver in a race as the best in qualifying reaches first place on the grid ( pole position ), wins the race and achieves the fastest lap time of all participants in the race.

In addition, the term “hat trick” is now also used in many other areas of life and culture in a figurative sense, such as winning a film prize three times , a music or other cultural competition, or a reader or viewer vote.

The term is also used in computer games. For example, in Capture the Flag , a popular mode that is integrated in many online shooter games, scoring three consecutive points by the same player is considered a “hat trick”.

Word origin

The term has its origins in cricket . As far as today, succeeded in 1858 Heathfield Harman ( "HH") Stephenson on the Hyde Park Ground in Sheffield became the first pitcher ( bowler ) three consecutive throws in three wickets convert. As a special award for this sporting achievement, he was presented with a hat ( English hat ). In connection with the word for a trick ( English trick ), the phrase hat trick developed , which was taken over as a foreign word in German usage.

Cricket

So far there have been 45 hat tricks in Test Cricket and 49 in One-Day Internationals . There have been 13 hat tricks in Twenty20s so far (as of February 21, 2020).

Four wickets in four consecutive balls is sometimes referred to as a double hat-trick , as it contains, in a sense, two runs of three consecutive wickets. Although there have been several cases in first-class cricket , it has only occurred once in international cricket, during the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the match between Sri Lanka and South Africa. Sri Lanka's almost bowler Lasith Malinga achieved this feat when he threw out Shaun Pollock and Andrew Hall one after the other and with the first two balls of his next overs, Jacques Kallis and Makhaya Ntini .

A flawless hat trick

In the German-speaking world, hat trick means that special conditions must be met, namely that a player scores three goals in one half and no other player (not even his own team) scores a goal between the first and third goal. This is often referred to as a "flawless" or "classic" hat trick, in order to get a distinction in sports reporting, in which it is often referred to as a hat trick when the same player scores three goals in the entire game (also in different halves) shoots, regardless of whether other players from your own or the opposing team have scored a goal between the individual goals.

In the Anglo-Saxon language area, it is already considered a hat trick if the same player scores three goals in a game - the expression “ flawless hat trick” describes a hat trick according to the narrower definition used in Germany. Likewise, some understand by a “real” or “perfect hat trick” that a player in a match scores the three goals once with his right or left foot and once with his head, or also: a goal with his foot (from the game out), one with the head and one from a free kick or penalty (both variants are very rare combinations).
