Why Yelena Akhaminova ranks #99 in Volleyball

Yelena Akhaminova ranks 99th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2917th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 88, Statistics 86. 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 1978–1988 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1982, 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, world championship medals 2, european titles 2, world cup medals 1.

Immediately ahead sits Caterina Bosetti on 85.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Stanislav Dineykin on 84.9. 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.
