Our GOAT ranking algorithm uses a weighted scoring formula that considers multiple dimensions of strongman achievement:
| Factor | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WSW Titles | 30% | World's Strongest Woman victories -- the most prestigious title in the sport. |
| Arnold Titles | 20% | Arnold Strongman Classic and Arnold Pro wins. |
| International Wins | 20% | Total first-place finishes at international-level competitions. |
| Longevity | 15% | Years of active competition at the international level. |
| Recency | 15% | Recent performances weighted more heavily to account for sport evolution. |
The formula produces a normalized score out of 100. Athletes are ranked by total score with ties broken by WSW wins, then Arnold wins, then total international wins.
