Why Dante Amaral ranks #7 in Volleyball
Dante Amaral ranks 7th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1382nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 92, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 309 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1999–2017 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, 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 golds 1, world championship golds 2, world league titles 6, world cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Sinjin Smith on 89.1, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Zhu Ting on 88.6. 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.
