Why Ai Yanhan ranks #109 in Swimming
Ai Yanhan ranks 109th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1196th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 289 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2014–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, asian games gold medals 2, world championship medals 2, national titles 8.
Immediately ahead sits Vladimir Bure on 82.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Emiliano Brembilla on 82.8. 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.
