Why Timothy Beck ranks #240 in Athletics
Timothy Beck ranks 240th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2205th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 80, Honours 78, Statistics 84. 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 1997–2008 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, 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 european indoor medals 1, dutch titles 6, olympic appearances 2, national records 2.
Immediately ahead sits Noah Ngeny on 80.6, a gap of 1.6 points. Directly behind is Zola Budd on 78.7. 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.
