Why Emmanuel Lebesson ranks #132 in Table Tennis
Emmanuel Lebesson ranks 132nd among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3797th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 78, Statistics 76. 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 2006–present with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european titles 1, olympic medals 1, french national titles 3, european team medals 3.
Immediately ahead sits Chen Xingtong on 78.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Petrissa Solja on 78.2. 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.
