Why Yelena Chebukina ranks #27 in Volleyball

Yelena Chebukina ranks 27th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2525th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 92, 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 1984–1996 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world championship gold medals 1, world cup titles 1, european titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Fabiana Claudino on 88.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Marco Bracci on 88.3. 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.
