Is many sperm feritize one egg?

No, only one sperm can fertilizes one ovum. In women only one egg cell or ovum is produced per overy. And in men about thousands sperms are produced.

This system is called the 'lock and key system'.

Why only one sperm cell can fertilized an ovum?

Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
