Why Regla Bell ranks #2 in Volleyball

Regla Bell ranks 2nd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1944th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 91.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 95, Longevity 86, Honours 96, Statistics 90. 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 1990–2004 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 95. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 3, world championship gold medals 2, world cup titles 2, world grand prix titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Karch Kiraly on 95.4, a gap of 4.0 points. Directly behind is Marlenis Costa on 90.7. 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.
