Why Crissy Ahmann-Leighton ranks #113 in Swimming

Crissy Ahmann-Leighton ranks 113th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1269th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 62, Honours 82, 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 1989–1993 with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, 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 golds 2, olympic medals 3, ncaa titles 7, 100 m butterfly best 58.74.

Immediately ahead sits Carmen Bunaciu on 78.2, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Freya Anderson on 77.0. 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.
