Why Misty May-Treanor ranks #19 in Volleyball

Misty May-Treanor ranks 19th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 786th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1999–2012 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, 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 olympic golds 3, world championship titles 3, tournament wins 112, avp titles 72.

Immediately ahead sits Lorenzo Bernardi on 82.4, a gap of -0.4 points. Directly behind is Andrea Giani on 79.9. 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.
