Why Blanka Vlašić ranks #78 in Athletics
Blanka Vlašić ranks 78th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 657th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 80, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 309 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1998–2017 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 2, olympic medals 2, personal best (m) 2.08, indoor world titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Steve Cram on 83.0, a gap of 1.1 points. Directly behind is Peter Snell on 84.5. 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.
