Why Jamie Baulch ranks #151 in Athletics

Jamie Baulch ranks 151st among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 978th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 82, 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 1993–2005 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, 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 indoor golds 1, olympic medals 1, world championship relay golds 1, 400 m best 44.57.

Immediately ahead sits Maryna Arzamasova on 81.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Aleen Bailey on 81.0. 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.
