Why Luciano De Cecco ranks #9 in Volleyball

Luciano De Cecco ranks 9th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1433rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 92, Honours 84, Statistics 92. 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 2006–present with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, 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 medals 1, olympic games 4, italian league titles 3, champions league medals 2.

Immediately ahead sits Zhu Ting on 88.6, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Fofão on 88.4. 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.
