Why Yamilé Aldama ranks #222 in Athletics
Yamilé Aldama ranks 222nd among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 1912th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 92, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 1993–2014 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world indoor titles 1, personal best (m) 15.29, olympic games contested 4, world championship finals 6.
Immediately ahead sits Mohammed Aman on 80.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Ben Johnson on 80.1. 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.
