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.
