Why Lauren Boyle ranks #96 in Swimming
Lauren Boyle ranks 96th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 976th of 2289 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 90, Longevity 78, Honours 76, Statistics 86. 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 2005–2017 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, 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 medals 3, short-course world titles 1, commonwealth games medals 3, world records 1.
Immediately ahead sits Jazmin Carlin on 80.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Kathleen Baker on 79.9. 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.
