Why Lars Frölander ranks #175 in Swimming
Lars Frölander ranks 175th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1692nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 1992–2008 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic games contested 5, short course world titles 6, european championship golds 7.
Immediately ahead sits Pablo Morales on 80.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alicia Coutts on 80.1. 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.
