Why Yury Berezhko ranks #33 in Volleyball

Yury Berezhko ranks 33rd among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1597th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 88, Statistics 88. 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 2000–2019 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, 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 golds 1, world league titles 2, european titles 1, world cup titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Kerri Walsh Jennings on 86.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lioubov Sokolova on 86.4. 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.
