Why Javier Acevedo ranks #194 in Swimming

Javier Acevedo ranks 194th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1886th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 78, Honours 78, 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 2014–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes pan american medals 2, olympic appearances 2, canadian titles 6, commonwealth games appearances 1.

Immediately ahead sits Adrian Moorhouse on 79.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Shaine Casas on 79.3. 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.
