Why Daniel Wiffen ranks #98 in Swimming
Daniel Wiffen ranks 98th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1008th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 64, 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 2019–present with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2023, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic bronze medals 1, world championship golds 2, world records 1.
Immediately ahead sits Kathleen Baker on 79.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Milorad Čavić on 79.8. 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.
