Why Jessica Beard ranks #141 in Athletics
Jessica Beard ranks 141st among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1218th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 2009–2021 with 13 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 world championship gold medals 2, world relay titles 1, ncaa titles 4, personal best (s) 50.21.
Immediately ahead sits Renate Stecher on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Maurice Greene on 83.5. 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.
