Why Iván Pedroso ranks #32 in Athletics

Iván Pedroso ranks 32nd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 198th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1990–2007 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world championship golds 4, world indoor titles 4, best jump in metres 8.71.

Immediately ahead sits Ryan Crouser on 88.7, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Nadezhda Chizhova on 88.7. 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.
