Why Marcelo Negrão ranks #66 in Volleyball

Marcelo Negrão ranks 66th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1724th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1990–2006 with 17 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 gold medals 1, olympic mvp awards 1, world league titles 3, world cup medals 1.

Immediately ahead sits Stéphen Boyer on 84.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jonas Reckermann on 84.3. 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.
