Why Chase Kalisz ranks #107 in Swimming

Chase Kalisz ranks 107th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1171st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 84, 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 2013–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic medals 3, world championship titles 3, pan pacific titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Kate Douglass on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Vladimir Bure on 82.9. 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.
