Why Ernő Földi ranks #34 in Table Tennis
Ernő Földi ranks 34th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2085th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 74, Honours 82, 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 1928–1939 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1938, 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 world championship golds 2, world championship medals 4, hungarian national titles 3, team world titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Hyun Jung-hwa on 79.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sun Yingsha on 79.1. 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.
