Why Tomoe Abe ranks #263 in Athletics

Tomoe Abe ranks 263rd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2667th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 72, Honours 74, Statistics 80. 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 1992–2001 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, 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, 100 km world bests 1, marathon personal best 2.2639, marathon victories 3.

Immediately ahead sits Ristananna Bailey-Cole on 76.6, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Sofia Assefa on 76.1. 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.
