Why Guo Yuehua ranks #10 in Table Tennis
Guo Yuehua ranks 10th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3238th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 96, Longevity 68, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1977–1985 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1981, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship singles titles 2, world cup titles 2, world team titles 3, world championship medals 8.
Immediately ahead sits Chen Jing on 87.0, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Ma Lin on 86.4. 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.
