Why Annika Becker ranks #272 in Athletics
Annika Becker ranks 272nd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2903rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 84, Longevity 70, Honours 74, 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 1997–2006 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, 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 european titles 1, world championship medals 1, personal best (m) 4.71, german national titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Hirooki Arai on 74.8, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Ihab Abdelrahman on 74.0. 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.
