Why Pavel Abramov ranks #42 in Volleyball

Pavel Abramov ranks 42nd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1653rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 84, 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 1998–2015 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, 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, olympic medals 2, world league titles 3, european championship titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Logan Tom on 85.9, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Vigor Bovolenta on 85.6. 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.
