Why Todd Bennett ranks #165 in Athletics
Todd Bennett ranks 165th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1141st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 78, 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 1980–1990 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, 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 medals 1, world indoor titles 1, european indoor titles 1, 400 m personal best 45.12.
Immediately ahead sits Michelle-Lee Ahye on 79.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Olapade Adeniken on 79.3. 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.
