Why Clayton Stanley ranks #123 in Volleyball
Clayton Stanley ranks 123rd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3002nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 84, 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 2000–2014 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic mvp awards 1, world league titles 2, olympic games contested 3.
Immediately ahead sits Vladimir Dorokhov on 83.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Andrey Egorchev on 83.7. 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.
