Why Kim Kyung-ah ranks #45 in Table Tennis
Kim Kyung-ah ranks 45th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3440th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 86. 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 1995–2012 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2005, 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 olympic medals 1, asian games medals 3, world championship medals 3, pro tour titles 5.
Immediately ahead sits Anatoly Amelin on 83.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Pinkie Barnes on 83.6. 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.
