Why Simone Buti ranks #224 in Volleyball

Simone Buti ranks 224th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3337th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 76. 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 2004–present with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak 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 medals 1, world league titles 1, european championship medals 1, italian league titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Paola Egonu on 79.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Max Holt on 79.0. 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.
