Why Alyssa Anderson ranks #204 in Swimming
Alyssa Anderson ranks 204th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 2010th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 68, Honours 82, Statistics 82. 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 2009–2014 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 gold medals 1, ncaa titles 3, world university games titles 2, us national medals 3.
Immediately ahead sits Yang Junxuan on 79.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Angie Bainbridge on 78.9. 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.
