Why Emiliano Brembilla ranks #72 in Swimming

Emiliano Brembilla ranks 72nd among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 726th of 2289 across every sport in the index.

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 1993–2009 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european titles 2, world short-course golds 1, olympic games 4, 400 m freestyle best 226.7.

Immediately ahead sits Ariarne Titmus on 83.0, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Pan Zhanle on 82.8. 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.
