Why Frank Baltrusch ranks #167 in Swimming
Frank Baltrusch ranks 167th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1648th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 72, Honours 80, 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 1986–1992 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, 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 world championship medals 1, european championship medals 2, national titles 6, olympic appearances 1.
Immediately ahead sits Holly Barratt on 80.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jazmin Carlin on 80.3. 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.
