Why Fofão ranks #10 in Volleyball
Fofão ranks 10th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1435th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 90, Honours 88, 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 1990–2012 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1995, 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 gold medals 1, olympic mvp awards 1, grand prix titles 8, world championship medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Luciano De Cecco on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Maja Ognjenović on 88.4. 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.
