Why Jean-Philippe Gatien ranks #11 in Table Tennis
Jean-Philippe Gatien ranks 11th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 813th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1985–2000 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1988, 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 championship golds 1, olympic medals 1, world cup titles 1, european titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Ryu Seung-min on 84.7, a gap of 0.8 points. Directly behind is Stellan Bengtsson on 82.8. 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.
