Why Kasey Carlson ranks #128 in Swimming
Kasey Carlson ranks 128th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1837th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 70.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 80, Longevity 64, Honours 70, Statistics 80. 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 2007–2013 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 80. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 80 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, world championship medals 1, us national titles 1, 100 m breaststroke best 66.3.
Immediately ahead sits David Popovici on 70.4, a gap of 0.1 points. 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.
