Why Ludmila Engquist ranks #95 in Athletics
Ludmila Engquist ranks 95th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 579th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1987–1999 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, 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 gold medals 1, world championship golds 2, european titles 1, 100 m hurdles personal best 12.26.
Immediately ahead sits James Beckford on 85.4, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Daniel Komen on 85.0. 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.
