Why Hugo Calderano ranks #55 in Table Tennis

Hugo Calderano ranks 55th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3485th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 2013–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, world championship medals 1, pan american titles 6, career high world ranking 3.

Immediately ahead sits Jörg Rosskopf on 83.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Tong Ling on 83.0. 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.
