Why Sylwester Bednarek ranks #230 in Athletics
Sylwester Bednarek ranks 230th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2037th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 82. 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 2007–2019 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship medals 1, european indoor medals 2, personal best in centimetres 234, polish titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Gabriele Becker on 79.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Frédérique Bangué on 79.5. 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.
