Why Foluke Akinradewo ranks #30 in Volleyball

Foluke Akinradewo ranks 30th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 892nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 82, Longevity 76, Honours 78, Statistics 78. 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 2005–2021 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, olympic medals 3, world championship golds 1, world cup medals 3.

Immediately ahead sits Maxim Mikhaylov on 77.3, a gap of -0.6 points. Directly behind is Paola Egonu on 79.0. 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.
