Why Andrea Zorzi ranks #13 in Volleyball

Andrea Zorzi ranks 13th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 692nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 88, Statistics 84. 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 1984–1998 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 2, world league titles 5, european titles 2, olympic medals 1.

Immediately ahead sits Ekaterina Gamova on 85.4, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Emanuel Rego on 83.0. 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.
