Why Byon Kyung-ja ranks #203 in Volleyball
Byon Kyung-ja ranks 203rd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3253rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1972–1980 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak 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 olympic medals 1, asian championship medals 2, asian games medals 1, national team years 9.
Immediately ahead sits Yekaterina Gamova on 80.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Chaim Schalk on 80.0. 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.
