We make thecall beforethe gun.

A model trained on real results, not gut feeling. We scrape every World Athletics mark across all 32 disciplines, rank the world's best, and call the podium before anyone races.

Live from the model: its top-rated athlete in every event

The model’s ratings load once the live model is running.

The projected podium

The three the model backs hardest right now.

Ranked by the model’s rating of how strong each athlete is right now.

Loading the model's strongest calls…

Each of these is the model's strongest call in a different discipline, so they aren't competing against each other. Their places here show how highly the model rates them, not how they would finish against each other. Each percentage is the model’s own rating, not an official ranking; marks are 2026 season bests from World Athletics.

Real results in. A ranked field out.

A season of real racing, resolved into the model’s best athletes.

Every major meeting this season is scraped from World Athletics, then reduced to the model’s own rating of every athlete in every event.

No fabricated data, anywhere in the pipeline.

Real data in, honest predictions out, in five steps.

01

Scrape real results

Every Diamond League meet, plus the Olympics, World Championships, Continental Tour Gold meets, and the European Championships. All of it pulled straight from World Athletics' own API, not hand-typed.

02

Engineer real features

Season form, consistency across meets, recency, schedule pacing, head-to-head history, wind adjustment: 15 in all. Every candidate since gets scored across ten random seeds against a shuffled control, and dropped when it can't beat one. Several have been.

03

Validate honestly

Walk-forward validated across five independent seasons (2021–2025), training only on years strictly before each test year, never on the future.

04

Check who is actually racing

News and meet recaps are scanned automatically before anything is scored. Flagged athletes carry a watch badge with a link to the source; confirmed withdrawals are dropped from the field entirely.

05

Predict live

The model re-scores the whole field from fresh World Athletics data on every refresh, right up to the next championship.
