Why Fan Yunwei ranks #124 in Table Tennis
Fan Yunwei ranks 124th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3761st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 85, Longevity 76, Honours 78, Statistics 80. 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 1998–2010 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, which sets the Peak component at 85. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 85 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship medals 2, ittf pro tour titles 3, asian championship medals 2, career world ranking best 6.
Immediately ahead sits Marcos Freitas on 78.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Chen Chien-an on 78.7. 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.
