Why Zoya Yusova ranks #241 in Volleyball

Zoya Yusova ranks 241st among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3502nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 82, Longevity 78, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 1970–1982 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes soviet league titles 3, european championship medals 1, soviet union caps 100, european club medals 2.

Immediately ahead sits Yang Fangxu on 77.3, a gap of 0.4 points. Directly behind is Enrico Rossi on 76.8. 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.
