Why Kimberly Hill ranks #182 in Volleyball

Kimberly Hill ranks 182nd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3164th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 80. 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 2012–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world championship titles 1, world cup titles 1, nations league titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Hui Ruoqi on 81.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jake Gibb on 81.4. 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.
