Why Renate Stecher ranks #140 in Athletics
Renate Stecher ranks 140th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1209th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1967–1976 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1971, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 3, olympic medals 6, european championship golds 3, world records set 4.
Immediately ahead sits Tommie Smith on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jessica Beard on 83.6. 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.
