It might be best if you provided a link to the Ranking:

Sigh... Justify wasn't as high as I hoped. Lebron and no Steph Curry? This list is odd.

LeBron is a GOAT. Steph is not.
(I'm from Cleveland and I'm here to start fights about the NBA )
ETA: In fact, I don't think I can forgive Hanyu for being higher on this list than LeBron!!!
Mainly americans of course! I guess a 7 time consecutive crystal globe winner and 5 time olympic champions isn't good enough.
I literally know 3 names on that list: Hanyu, Djokovic and Simone Biles. Given how completely American-centric that list is, I have no idea how on earth Yuzu made it.
Alina Zagitova deserves to be on this list. She’s better than Biles.
How do they calculate these dominance ratings and how many athletes did they actually take a look at when computing them? Does the dominance rating account for differences between sports when it comes to how often the athletes compete and how often an top athlete can expect to win any given competition?
I'm pretty sure dominance depends in part on the length of time an athlete can stay at the top of his or her sport. Having only been in seniors for 1 1/2 seasons, I don't think Alina qualifies for any dominance ranking.
Nice to see Yuzu on there
OK well I know Djoko, Biles, Hamilton, and obviously Yuzu. Recognise a couple names from the Olympics. The rest are a mystery, but they are mostly American sports so I wouldn't know, they are not exactly news in the UK.
Actually, the length of the athlete being on top was not a factor at all, just their results in their most-recently-completed season, which I'm guessing would be the 2017/18 for FS. Though it's a bit funny if according to their methodology, Yuzu is/was dominant with just 2 competitions that season.
If you hit "here's how we came up with this list" they sort of explain their methodology. Sort of.

Oh, hm, must have missed it. And lol, what? I would not use the 2017-2018 season as my basis for proclaiming Yuzu's dominance, since he managed to lose both ACI and his first GP
To be fair, they included in the "dominance" things such as "earnings" and "advanced metrics" and frankly we can't be sure if they know what constitutes a full FS season. They're doing most dominant in 2018, so maybe they included results from all of 2018.:confused2:
