Why Hyun Jung-hwa ranks #20 in Table Tennis
Hyun Jung-hwa ranks 20th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 932nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 74, Honours 80, Statistics 78. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 295 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1983–1994 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, 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, olympic medals 2, asian games golds 2, world championship medals 6.
Immediately ahead sits Zhang Yining on 80.4, a gap of 1.2 points. Directly behind is Li Xiaoxia on 78.3. 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.
