Why Jack Carrington ranks #42 in Table Tennis
Jack Carrington ranks 42nd among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2127th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 68, Peak 84, Longevity 86, Honours 72, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 296 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1935–1955 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1939, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity 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 championship appearances 6, england caps 70, english national medals 4, coaching books written 8.
Immediately ahead sits Dora Beregi on 77.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Tazuko Abe on 77.6. 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.
