Why István Bagyula ranks #269 in Athletics
István Bagyula ranks 269th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2862nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 68, Peak 84, Longevity 78, Honours 72, Statistics 74. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1987–2000 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship medals 1, personal best (m) 5.9, ncaa titles 2, olympic games contested 3.
Immediately ahead sits Dick Fosbury on 75.5, a gap of 0.6 points. Directly behind is Kebede Balcha on 76.5. 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.
