Why Maxim Mikhaylov ranks #29 in Volleyball

Maxim Mikhaylov ranks 29th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 891st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 80, Honours 74, Statistics 78. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 310 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2006–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, world cup titles 2, world league titles 3, champions league titles 4.

Immediately ahead sits Kim Yeon-koung on 79.3, a gap of 2.0 points. Directly behind is Foluke Akinradewo on 77.9. 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.
