Why Roman Šebrle ranks #86 in Athletics

Roman Šebrle ranks 86th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 846th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1994–2013 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, 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 olympic golds 1, world titles 1, european titles 3, personal best (points) 9026.

Immediately ahead sits Carolina Klüft on 84.5, a gap of 2.3 points. Directly behind is Femke Bol on 78.1. 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.
