Why Krisztina Egerszegi ranks #19 in Swimming
Krisztina Egerszegi ranks 19th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 333rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 90, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 288 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1988–1996 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1988, 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 golds 5, olympic medals 7, world championship golds 4, world records 5.
Immediately ahead sits Kosuke Kitajima on 85.5, a gap of -1.3 points. Directly behind is Janet Evans on 86.3. 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.
