Why Ricardo Lucarelli ranks #69 in Volleyball

Ricardo Lucarelli ranks 69th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1737th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 84, 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 2011–present with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, 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 olympic gold medals 1, olympic silver medals 1, world league titles 2, club world championship titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Saeid Marouf on 83.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Wallace de Souza on 83.9. 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.
