Why Josef Dvořáček ranks #71 in Table Tennis
Josef Dvořáček ranks 71st among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3531st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 80, 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 1951–1964 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1956, 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 3, czechoslovak titles 4, european championship medals 1, world championship appearances 6.
Immediately ahead sits Tage Flisberg on 82.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Zlatko Čordaš on 82.4. 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.
