Why Peter Blangé ranks #184 in Volleyball

Peter Blangé ranks 184th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3176th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 82, Statistics 78. 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 1988–2001 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1995, 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 gold medals 1, european championship titles 1, world league titles 1, olympic games contested 3.

Immediately ahead sits Jake Gibb on 81.4, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Jelena Blagojević on 81.1. 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.
