Why Brigitte Becue ranks #108 in Swimming

Brigitte Becue ranks 108th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1179th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 76, Honours 78, Statistics 84. 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 1988–1998 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european titles 2, world short-course medals 3, olympic games 3, 200 m breaststroke best 145.8.

Immediately ahead sits Felix Auböck on 78.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Minna Atherton on 78.5. 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.
