Why Theo Brunner ranks #234 in Volleyball

Theo Brunner ranks 234th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3399th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 82, Honours 74, 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 2010–2022 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, 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 avp titles 4, fivb world tour medals 3, avp best blocker awards 1, world championship appearances 3.

Immediately ahead sits Jordyn Poulter on 78.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Goran Vujević on 78.1. 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.
