Why Aleksandr Butko ranks #86 in Volleyball

Aleksandr Butko ranks 86th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1814th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 78, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 309 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2006–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world league titles 3, european championship titles 1, world cup titles 1, champions league titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Yukiko Ebata on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Emanuele Birarelli on 81.9. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
