Why Ryosuke Irie ranks #202 in Swimming
Ryosuke Irie ranks 202nd among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1979th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 84, Longevity 84, 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 2008–2021 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 4, world championship medals 5, asian games golds 6, asian records set 5.
Immediately ahead sits Bruno Fratus on 79.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Yang Junxuan on 79.0. 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.
