Why Yuri Chesnokov ranks #39 in Volleyball
Yuri Chesnokov ranks 39th among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2598th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 93, Longevity 80, Honours 94, 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 1956–1966 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 93. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 1, world championship gold medals 2, european titles 3, soviet league titles 5.
Immediately ahead sits Todd Rogers on 87.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Rodrigão on 87.8. 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.
