Why Melissa Humana-Paredes ranks #188 in Volleyball

Melissa Humana-Paredes ranks 188th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3192nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 80. 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 2013–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship titles 1, olympic medals 1, world tour wins 12, commonwealth games golds 1.

Immediately ahead sits Micah Christenson on 81.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Carlotta Cambi on 81.1. 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.
