A searchable record of every competitor we hold results for. Filter by division or country, sort by results or wins, then open any name for the full contest history, with contest years reaching back to 1934.
Athlete records
Counts of stored contest placements, not a ranking. Results is every placement logged against the athlete, Wins is the placements that were first, and Retired is inferred from the date of the most recent one. What a record means.

Free to search, counted from contest results
Every row in this directory is compiled from placement records in the contest database. An athlete has a record because at least one result was logged against their name, not because anyone judged them notable.
Searching, filtering, sorting and paging are free and need no account.
- The database holds more rows than the directory lists. Rows identified as non-athletes, or kept as name-collision placeholders, are held back from search, so the Database records figure at the top of the page is higher than the number of matches in the table.
- Results counts every placement stored for that athlete. Wins counts only the results where the placement was first.
- Career is the first and last year that has a recorded result, so it tracks what we have results for rather than making a claim about career length.
- Retired is applied when the most recent recorded result is more than five years old. It is not a retirement announcement.
- This page does not rank anyone. Who was best is a separate question with a published formula, on the GOAT rankings.
