Why Rikako Ikee ranks #235 in Swimming
Rikako Ikee ranks 235th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 2426th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 72, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 2014–present with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes asian games golds 6, asian games mvp awards 1, japanese national records 11, world championship finals 3.
Immediately ahead sits Freya Anderson on 77.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Chad Carvin on 76.9. 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.
