Why Nelli Abramova ranks #151 in Volleyball
Nelli Abramova ranks 151st among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3088th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 1956–1964 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1960, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship gold medals 1, olympic medals 1, european titles 2, soviet league titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Matey Kaziyski on 82.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Renan Dal Zotto on 82.5. 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.
