Why Mireia Belmonte ranks #28 in Swimming
Mireia Belmonte ranks 28th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 264th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 88, Statistics 88. 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–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 olympic golds 1, olympic medals 4, world championship golds 2, short course world titles 10.
Immediately ahead sits Emma McKeon on 87.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Katinka Hosszú on 86.9. 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.
