Why Milorad Čavić ranks #99 in Swimming
Milorad Čavić ranks 99th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1018th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 74, 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 2003–2016 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, 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 medals 1, world championship golds 1, european titles 4, world records 1.
Immediately ahead sits Daniel Wiffen on 79.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Anthony Nesty on 79.7. 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.
