Why Alessandro Andrei ranks #97 in Athletics

Alessandro Andrei ranks 97th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 853rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 80, Honours 82, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1979–1993 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1985, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world records set 3, personal best in centimetres 2272, italian titles 10.

Immediately ahead sits Brigid Kosgei on 87.5, a gap of 1.8 points. Directly behind is Justin Gatlin on 85.6. 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.
