Why Gábor Gergely ranks #79 in Table Tennis
Gábor Gergely ranks 79th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3575th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 82, Honours 84, 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 1971–1990 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, 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 team titles 1, european championship titles 2, world championship medals 3, national titles 8.
Immediately ahead sits Li Ju on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sarah De Nutte on 81.9. 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.
