Why Katia Benth ranks #219 in Athletics

Katia Benth ranks 219th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1829th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 85, Longevity 82, Honours 80, Statistics 84. 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 1993–2004 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, which sets the Peak component at 85. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 85 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship medals 1, european championship medals 1, french titles 4, personal best 100 m (s) 11.11.

Immediately ahead sits Kelly-Ann Baptiste on 80.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jakob Ingebrigtsen on 81.9. 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.
