Why Abeba Aregawi ranks #154 in Athletics

Abeba Aregawi ranks 154th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 983rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 72, Honours 80, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 313 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2009–2019 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, world indoor titles 1, diamond league titles 1, 1500 m personal best 3.56.

Immediately ahead sits Glory Alozie on 81.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mykolas Alekna on 80.9. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
