Why Sinjin Smith ranks #6 in Volleyball
Sinjin Smith ranks 6th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1372nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 90, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 1977–1996 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1981, 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 career beach titles 139, world championship titles 1, avp tour wins 100, years on tour 20.
Immediately ahead sits Mireya Luis on 89.3, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Dante Amaral on 88.9. 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.
