Why Fang Bo ranks #154 in Table Tennis
Fang Bo ranks 154th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3852nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 70, Honours 76, Statistics 78. 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 2011–2021 with 11 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 world championship team golds 2, world championship singles finals 1, world tour titles 4, best world ranking 4.
Immediately ahead sits Wang Hao on 76.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Chester Barnes on 76.5. 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.
