Why Emanuele Birarelli ranks #87 in Volleyball
Emanuele Birarelli ranks 87th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1816th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 84. 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 2000–2019 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 olympic medals 1, world league titles 1, italian league titles 2, champions league titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Aleksandr Butko on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Yuko Arakida on 81.6. 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.
