Why Stefano Baldini ranks #134 in Athletics
Stefano Baldini ranks 134th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 848th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1993–2009 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, european titles 2, world championship medals 2, marathon personal best in hours 2.07.
Immediately ahead sits Cathy Freeman on 82.6, a gap of -1.7 points. Directly behind is Tegla Loroupe on 84.1. 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.
