athlete rankings

Athlete rankings are systems that objectively measure and compare athletes’ performances over time. They consider factors like recent results, the quality of opponents, and consistency to assign a numerical or positional score. Higher-ranked athletes typically perform better overall based on these criteria. Rankings are used to gauge an athlete’s standing within their sport, help determine qualifications for competitions, and track progress. They are dynamic, updating regularly as new performances are recorded, providing a snapshot of an athlete’s current form relative to peers.
