Why Jonas Reckermann ranks #67 in Volleyball

Jonas Reckermann ranks 67th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1725th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 84, 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 1999–2013 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, 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, world championship titles 1, european titles 3, world tour titles 10.

Immediately ahead sits Marcelo Negrão on 84.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Saeid Marouf on 83.9. 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.
