Why Mikhail Akimenko ranks #228 in Athletics

Mikhail Akimenko ranks 228th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2009th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 70, Honours 78, Statistics 84. 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 2015–2021 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, 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 1, personal best in centimetres 233, european indoor medals 1, national titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Todd Bennett on 79.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Gabriele Becker on 79.6. 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.
