In conclusion, in order to determine the G.O.A.T. for individual and team sports, we crafted a metric for "G.O.A.T.-ness", which took into account the relative abilities of players, their medal tallies, number of times they broke the world record, consistency over the years, as well the intensity of rivalry. These are all important factors to consider, given that there is an objective aspect of the player's abilities, as well as subjective factors that affect the public's recognition of different athletes. In addition, to test our model using real-life data, we obtained competition results from two international swimming competitions over the span of 30 years.
