Why Sunday Bada ranks #130 in Athletics
Sunday Bada ranks 130th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 824th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 84, 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 1989–2004 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, 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 golds 1, world championship medals 2, all-africa games titles 2, 400 m personal best 44.63.
Immediately ahead sits Peter Snell on 84.5, a gap of 1.8 points. Directly behind is Dylan Armstrong on 82.7. 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.
