Why Dain Blanton ranks #228 in Volleyball
Dain Blanton ranks 228th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3341st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 78, Statistics 76. 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 1994–2008 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, avp tour wins 6, world tour podiums 8, olympic games contested 2.
Immediately ahead sits Facundo Conte on 79.0, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Sergey Tetyukhin on 78.7. 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.
