Why Ludmila Formanová ranks #166 in Athletics

Ludmila Formanová ranks 166th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1413th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1992–2003 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship titles 1, world indoor titles 1, world indoor records 1, personal best in seconds 11733.

Immediately ahead sits Stefano Baldini on 84.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tegla Loroupe on 84.1. 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.
