Why Ana Marcela Cunha ranks #29 in Swimming
Ana Marcela Cunha ranks 29th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 442nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 2006–present with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, 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 olympic gold medals 1, world championship golds 8, world championship medals 15, pan american golds 3.
Immediately ahead sits Nathan Adrian on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kornelia Ender on 87.2. 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.
