Why Cha Hyo-sim ranks #36 in Table Tennis
Cha Hyo-sim ranks 36th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3409th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 86, 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 2014–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, 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 world championship gold medals 1, world championship medals 2, asian championship medals 2, olympic appearances 1.
Immediately ahead sits Zhuang Zedong on 84.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Cao Yanhua on 84.1. 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.
