Why Saad Al-Asmari ranks #130 in Athletics
Saad Al-Asmari ranks 130th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1157th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1993–2006 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes asian games gold medals 2, asian championship gold medals 3, personal best (min:s) 8.11, olympic appearances 3.
Immediately ahead sits Larry Myricks on 84.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alberto Juantorena on 85.6. 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.
