Why Ingrid Auerswald ranks #122 in Athletics
Ingrid Auerswald ranks 122nd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 746th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1976–1988 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, 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 golds 1, olympic medals 3, world records 1, european titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Valerie Brisco-Hooks on 83.5, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Hasna Benhassi on 83.2. 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.
