Why Yana Klochkova ranks #12 in Swimming
Yana Klochkova ranks 12th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 242nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 78, Honours 90, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 288 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1996–2008 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 4, world championship golds 5, world records 1, 400m medley best (min) 4.33.
Immediately ahead sits Ryan Lochte on 86.1, a gap of -1.8 points. Directly behind is Grant Hackett on 86.2. 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.
