Why Junko Asari ranks #274 in Athletics
Junko Asari ranks 274th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2948th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 64, Honours 78, Statistics 76. 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 1990–1998 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1993, 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 outdoor titles 1, marathon personal best 2.2618, osaka marathon wins 1, global championships contested 2.
Immediately ahead sits Ihab Abdelrahman on 74.0, a gap of -1.4 points. Directly behind is Fita Bayisa on 73.7. 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.
