Why Wallace de Souza ranks #70 in Volleyball

Wallace de Souza ranks 70th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1738th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 2009–present with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, olympic silver medals 1, world league titles 4, world cup titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Ricardo Lucarelli on 83.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Virna Dias on 83.6. 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.
