Why Balázs Baji ranks #276 in Athletics
Balázs Baji ranks 276th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2973rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 73.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 66, Peak 80, Longevity 80, Honours 70, Statistics 74. 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 2008–2021 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, which sets the Peak component at 80. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 80 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship medals 1, personal best (s) 13.15, european championship finals 3, hungarian national titles 10.
Immediately ahead sits Fita Bayisa on 73.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Wude Ayalew on 73.3. 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.
