Why Elmira Antonyan ranks #29 in Table Tennis

Elmira Antonyan ranks 29th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3379th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, 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 1968–1979 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, 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 european titles 3, world championship medals 2, soviet titles 6, european championship medals 7.

Immediately ahead sits Joo Se-hyuk on 84.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jiang Jialiang on 84.5. 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.
