Why Yulimar Rojas ranks #64 in Athletics
Yulimar Rojas ranks 64th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 528th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 70, Honours 88, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 309 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2013–present with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 olympic golds 1, world titles 4, world record (m) 15.74, indoor world titles 3.
Immediately ahead sits Lasse Virén on 85.7, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Kipchoge Keino on 84.8. 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.
