Why Erika Araki ranks #75 in Volleyball

Erika Araki ranks 75th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1773rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 90, Honours 80, Statistics 86. 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 2002–2021 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 medals 1, olympic games 4, world grand prix medals 2, japanese league titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Tandara Caixeta on 83.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Slobodan Kovač on 83.1. 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.
