Why Yang Fangxu ranks #240 in Volleyball
Yang Fangxu ranks 240th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3473rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 82, Longevity 80, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 2003–2016 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes asian games golds 1, chinese league titles 2, asian championship medals 2, china caps 150.
Immediately ahead sits Maxim Mikhaylov on 77.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Zoya Yusova on 76.9. 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.
