Why Sérgio Santos ranks #22 in Volleyball

Sérgio Santos ranks 22nd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 814th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 82, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 78. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 310 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1995–2017 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, which sets the Peak component at 82. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, world championship titles 2, world league titles 8, world cup titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Sergey Tetyukhin on 78.7, a gap of -1.2 points. Directly behind is Regla Torres on 82.1. 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.
