Why Jessica Ashwood ranks #177 in Swimming

Jessica Ashwood ranks 177th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1733rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 80, 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 2011–2018 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, 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 commonwealth titles 1, world championship medals 1, australian titles 5, olympic finals 2.

Immediately ahead sits Alicia Coutts on 80.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Gary Abraham on 80.0. 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.
