Why Christiaan Varenhorst ranks #154 in Volleyball
Christiaan Varenhorst ranks 154th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3099th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 2010–present with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, 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 world championship medals 1, european championship medals 2, world tour medals 8, olympic appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Barbara Czekalla on 82.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Marius Căta-Chițiga on 82.5. 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.
