Why Kajsa Bergqvist ranks #80 in Athletics

Kajsa Bergqvist ranks 80th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 480th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 86, Statistics 88. 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 1994–2008 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, olympic medals 1, world indoor titles 2, indoor world record 2.08.

Immediately ahead sits Ashton Eaton on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Murielle Ahouré-Demps on 85.8. 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.
