Why Magaly Carvajal ranks #14 in Volleyball

Magaly Carvajal ranks 14th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1475th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1986–2000 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, 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 golds 2, world championship golds 1, world cup golds 2, grand prix titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Fabiana Claudino on 88.3, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Maurício Lima on 88.0. 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.
