Why Rebecca Soni ranks #70 in Swimming
Rebecca Soni ranks 70th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 698th 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 86, Peak 94, Longevity 64, Honours 84, 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 2008–2012 with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, 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 olympic gold medals 3, olympic medals 6, world championship golds 6, world records 5.
Immediately ahead sits Tom Dolan on 83.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ariarne Titmus on 83.0. 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.
