Why Sarah Pavan ranks #173 in Volleyball
Sarah Pavan ranks 173rd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3138th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 82, Statistics 80. 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 2009–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, 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 world championship titles 1, commonwealth games golds 1, world tour wins 12, olympic games contested 3.
Immediately ahead sits Kira Walkenhorst on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Nancy Carrillo on 81.9. 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.
