Why Mykolas Alekna ranks #155 in Athletics

Mykolas Alekna ranks 155th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 984th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 58, Honours 80, Statistics 90. 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 2021–present with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2025, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world record 75.56, world championship medals 2, olympic medals 1, european titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Abeba Aregawi on 81.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Harry Aikines-Aryeetey on 80.9. 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.
