Why Paula Pequeno ranks #51 in Volleyball

Paula Pequeno ranks 51st among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1676th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 2001–2016 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, 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 gold medals 2, grand prix titles 6, world cup medals 2, pan american golds 2.

Immediately ahead sits Michał Kubiak on 85.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Julius Brink on 85.2. 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.
