Why Leith Brodie ranks #242 in Swimming
Leith Brodie ranks 242nd among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 2559th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 82, Longevity 76, Honours 76, Statistics 80. 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 2006–2014 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes commonwealth games medals 2, australian titles 3, world championship appearances 2, pan pacific medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Paolo Barelli on 76.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dirk Braunleder on 76.3. 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.
