Why Dang Ye-seo ranks #28 in Table Tennis
Dang Ye-seo ranks 28th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2060th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 2002–2016 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, 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 olympic medals 1, world championship medals 3, asian games medals 2, ittf pro tour titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Zhang Yining on 80.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Claude Bergeret on 80.2. 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.
