Why Lyubov Sokolova ranks #76 in Volleyball
Lyubov Sokolova ranks 76th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2831st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 88, Statistics 82. 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 1995–2012 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, 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 world championship titles 2, olympic medals 2, european titles 4, grand prix titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Logan Tom on 85.9, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Ekaterina Antropova on 86.0. 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.
