Why Mohammed Ahmed ranks #124 in Athletics
Mohammed Ahmed ranks 124th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 770th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 78, Statistics 88. 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 2009–present with 14 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 olympic medals 1, world championship medals 1, canadian records 4, 5000 m personal best in seconds 771.61.
Immediately ahead sits Hasna Benhassi on 83.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Aleksandr Averbukh on 83.1. 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.
