Why Yuri Bashkatov ranks #87 in Swimming
Yuri Bashkatov ranks 87th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 1034th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 88, Statistics 86. 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 1986–1993 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world championship medals 2, european titles 2, olympic appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Bobby Finke on 83.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Femke Heemskerk on 83.7. 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.
