Why Andreas Almgren ranks #149 in Athletics
Andreas Almgren ranks 149th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 967th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 313 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2014–present with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, 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 european records 1, european championship medals 1, 5,000 m best 764.36, half marathon best 3538.
Immediately ahead sits Kelvin Kiptum on 83.0, a gap of 1.9 points. Directly behind is Maryna Arzamasova on 81.1. 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.
