Why Chang Hee-sook ranks #192 in Volleyball
Chang Hee-sook ranks 192nd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3204th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, 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 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 olympic medals 1, asian championship medals 2, asian games medals 1, national team years 9.
Immediately ahead sits Baik Myung-sun on 81.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tri Bourne on 80.8. 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.
