Why Larisa Bergen ranks #60 in Volleyball

Larisa Bergen ranks 60th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1701st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 90, 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 1969–1980 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 2, world championship golds 1, european titles 3, olympic games 2.

Immediately ahead sits Mercedes Calderón on 84.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Earvin N'Gapeth on 84.8. 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.
