Why Elizabeth Beisel ranks #82 in Swimming
Elizabeth Beisel ranks 82nd among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 842nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 2007–2016 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, 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 medals 2, world championship golds 1, pan pacific titles 3, us titles 7.
Immediately ahead sits Summer McIntosh on 81.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Enith Brigitha on 81.6. 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.
