Why Annika Bruhn ranks #218 in Swimming

Annika Bruhn ranks 218th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 2137th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 78, Honours 78, 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 2012–2021 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, 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 championship medals 2, german titles 8, olympic appearances 2, world championship appearances 3.

Immediately ahead sits Serhiy Breus on 78.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bill Barrett on 78.4. 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.
