Why Andrea Giani ranks #20 in Volleyball
Andrea Giani ranks 20th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 807th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 82, Longevity 86, Honours 82, Statistics 76. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 310 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1986–2007 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 82. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship titles 3, world league titles 8, european championship titles 3, olympic medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Misty May-Treanor on 82.8, a gap of 2.9 points. Directly behind is Sergey Tetyukhin on 78.7. 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.
