Why Kriss Akabusi ranks #126 in Athletics
Kriss Akabusi ranks 126th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 774th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 84, 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 1983–1993 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1984, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, olympic medals 2, european titles 1, 400 m hurdles best 47.82.
Immediately ahead sits Aleksandr Averbukh on 83.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Selemon Barega on 84.8. 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.
