Why Monica De Gennaro ranks #16 in Volleyball

Monica De Gennaro ranks 16th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1481st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 88, Statistics 88. 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 2004–present with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, 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 golds 1, world championship medals 1, champions league titles 5, best libero awards 8.

Immediately ahead sits Maurício Lima on 88.0, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Zoila Barros 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.
