Why Chen Jing ranks #6 in Table Tennis
Chen Jing ranks 6th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1851st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 88. 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 1986–2001 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, olympic medals 3, world championship golds 2, world cup medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Fan Zhendong on 88.5, a gap of 1.5 points. Directly behind is Ma Lin 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.
