Why Dylan Armstrong ranks #131 in Athletics
Dylan Armstrong ranks 131st among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 825th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 2003–2014 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 medals 1, world championship medals 2, diamond league titles 1, personal best in metres 22.21.
Immediately ahead sits Sunday Bada on 82.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kenny Bednarek on 82.7. 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.
