Why Alina Astafei ranks #235 in Athletics
Alina Astafei ranks 235th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2101st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 88, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 1987–2003 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity 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 european titles 1, world indoor medals 3, personal best (m) 2, olympic games contested 3.
Immediately ahead sits Shawn Barber on 79.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Vera Nikolić on 80.7. 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.
