Why Chen Chien-an ranks #37 in Table Tennis
Chen Chien-an ranks 37th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2099th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 76, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 296 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2008–present with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world doubles titles 1, asian games medals 2, world junior titles 2, career-high ranking 10.
Immediately ahead sits Wang Chuqin on 79.1, a gap of 0.4 points. Directly behind is Chen Meng on 78.3. 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.
