Why Christine Amertil ranks #174 in Athletics
Christine Amertil ranks 174th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1409th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 84, Longevity 80, Honours 72, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 313 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1998–2012 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, which sets the Peak component at 84. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world indoor medals 2, olympic finals 1, 400 m best 49.98, national records 1.
Immediately ahead sits Morolake Akinosun on 77.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is John Carlos on 77.5. 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.
