Why William Arjona ranks #30 in Volleyball

William Arjona ranks 30th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2541st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 2000–2021 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, 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 world championship gold medals 1, world league titles 4, world cup titles 1, brazilian league titles 6.

Immediately ahead sits Simona Gioli on 88.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Matthew Anderson on 88.2. 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.
