Why Kate Douglass ranks #106 in Swimming
Kate Douglass ranks 106th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1170th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 70, Honours 86, Statistics 86. 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 2019–present with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, 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 olympic gold medals 2, olympic medals 6, world championship titles 6, american records 5.
Immediately ahead sits Wang Shun on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Chase Kalisz on 83.0. 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.
