Why Ekaterina Gamova ranks #12 in Volleyball

Ekaterina Gamova ranks 12th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 664th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 310 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1998–2016 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, 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 world championship titles 2, olympic medals 2, european titles 2, world cup medals 2.

Immediately ahead sits Phil Dalhausser on 85.0, a gap of -0.4 points. Directly behind is Andrea Zorzi on 85.2. 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.
