Why Yuko Arakida ranks #88 in Volleyball
Yuko Arakida ranks 88th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1830th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 62, Honours 86, 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 1972–1978 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, 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 golds 1, world championship golds 1, world cup medals 1, japan caps 120.
Immediately ahead sits Emanuele Birarelli on 81.9, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Oleg Antonov on 80.7. 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.
