Why Sandra Pires ranks #127 in Volleyball
Sandra Pires ranks 127th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3013th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1993–2004 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1996, 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 1, olympic medals 2, world championship titles 1, world tour wins 30.
Immediately ahead sits Cui Yongmei on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Grzegorz Fijałek on 83.6. 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.
