Why Kim Batten ranks #113 in Athletics
Kim Batten ranks 113th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 707th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 94, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 1991–2000 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, world records 1, olympic medals 1, 400 m hurdles best 52.61.
Immediately ahead sits Murielle Ahouré on 83.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kirani James on 83.7. 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.
