Why Gustavo Tsuboi ranks #47 in Table Tennis
Gustavo Tsuboi ranks 47th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3446th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 2003–present with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2015, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes pan american gold medals 3, olympic appearances 4, latin american titles 4, brazilian titles 5.
Immediately ahead sits Pinkie Barnes on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lily Zhang on 83.6. 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.
