Why Maurício Lima ranks #15 in Volleyball

Maurício Lima ranks 15th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1480th 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 86, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 86. 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 1988–2006 with 19 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 2, world championship golds 1, world league titles 6, world cup titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Magaly Carvajal on 88.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Monica De Gennaro on 87.8. 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.
