Why Freya Anderson ranks #114 in Swimming
Freya Anderson ranks 114th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1377th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 68, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 2016–present with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, 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 golds 1, world championship medals 4, european titles 5, commonwealth medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Crissy Ahmann-Leighton on 77.9, a gap of 0.9 points. Directly behind is Chad Carvin on 76.9. 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.
