Why Christine Ohuruogu ranks #210 in Athletics

Christine Ohuruogu ranks 210th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1729th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 78. 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 2004–2016 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, 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 olympic gold medals 1, olympic medals 2, world championship golds 2, commonwealth games golds 1.

Immediately ahead sits Kerstin Behrendt on 80.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Mamo Wolde on 80.8. 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.
