Why Joo Se-hyuk ranks #28 in Table Tennis
Joo Se-hyuk ranks 28th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3378th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 84, 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 1998–2020 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak 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 world championship medals 4, olympic team medals 1, asian games medals 3, career world ranking best 3.
Immediately ahead sits Werner Schlager on 84.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Elmira Antonyan on 84.6. 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.
