Why Sally Barsosio ranks #163 in Athletics
Sally Barsosio ranks 163rd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1115th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 80, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 313 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1993–2002 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, world championship medals 2, 10,000 m personal best 1852.66, african championship medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Mohammed Aman on 80.2, a gap of -1.4 points. Directly behind is Michelle-Lee Ahye on 79.7. 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.
