Why Márcio Araújo ranks #15 in Volleyball
Márcio Araújo ranks 15th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2470th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1998–2016 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, 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 world championship gold medals 1, olympic medals 1, world tour titles 21, olympic appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Dante Amaral on 88.9, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Luca Cantagalli on 88.7. 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.
