Why Anke Behmer ranks #292 in Athletics

Anke Behmer ranks 292nd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 3889th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 84, Longevity 72, Honours 76, Statistics 76. 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 1981–1990 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1988, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, european championship medals 2, personal best (points) 6858, national titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Armand Duplantis on 86.3, a gap of 11.0 points. 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.
