Why Anna Danesi ranks #42 in Volleyball

Anna Danesi ranks 42nd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2617th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 93, Longevity 80, Honours 92, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2014–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2022, which sets the Peak component at 93. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 93 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world championship gold medals 1, nations league titles 2, european titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Lang Ping on 87.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is April Ross on 87.6. 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.
