Why Yang Junxuan ranks #203 in Swimming
Yang Junxuan ranks 203rd among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1980th 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 76, Peak 88, Longevity 70, Honours 82, Statistics 80. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 289 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2018–present with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 2, world records 1, world championship medals 5, asian games golds 5.
Immediately ahead sits Ryosuke Irie on 79.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alyssa Anderson on 78.9. 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.
