Why Robert Korzeniowski ranks #22 in Athletics
Robert Korzeniowski ranks 22nd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 131st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 92, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 309 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1988–2004 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, 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 golds 4, world championship golds 3, european titles 2, 50km best (min) 220.71.
Immediately ahead sits Valerie Adams on 88.3, a gap of -1.4 points. Directly behind is Derartu Tulu on 88.3. 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.
