Why Sophie Angus ranks #229 in Swimming
Sophie Angus ranks 229th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 2261st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 76, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 2016–present with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, 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 commonwealth games medals 1, canadian titles 4, olympic appearances 1, world championship appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Gustavo Borges on 77.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Roswitha Beier on 77.6. 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.
