Why Ivans Bugajenkovs ranks #44 in Volleyball
Ivans Bugajenkovs ranks 44th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2634th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 94, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1960–1970 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1965, which sets the Peak component at 92. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 2, world championship gold medals 1, european titles 2, soviet league titles 6.
Immediately ahead sits April Ross on 87.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Paolo Nicolai on 87.4. 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.
