Why Molly Renshaw ranks #115 in Swimming
Molly Renshaw ranks 115th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1258th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 84. 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 2012–2024 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european titles 2, commonwealth medals 3, british titles 10, world championship finals 4.
Immediately ahead sits Hannelore Anke on 82.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Pär Arvidsson on 82.4. 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.
