Why Bai Yang ranks #51 in Table Tennis
Bai Yang ranks 51st among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3464th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 291 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1998–2008 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, 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 world championship medals 2, ittf pro tour titles 3, asian championship medals 2, chinese national medals 4.
Immediately ahead sits Viktoria Pavlovich on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Zoltán Bubonyi on 83.2. 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.
