Why Dwight Phillips ranks #107 in Athletics
Dwight Phillips ranks 107th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 950th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 2000–2013 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, 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, world championship golds 4, world indoor golds 2, personal best long jump 8.74.
Immediately ahead sits Roger Black on 85.4, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Ludmila Engquist on 85.1. 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.
