Why Koki Niwa ranks #127 in Table Tennis
Koki Niwa ranks 127th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3778th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 82, Honours 78, Statistics 78. 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 2010–present with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, world championship team medals 4, japanese national titles 2, career high world ranking 6.
Immediately ahead sits Adriana Díaz on 78.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is He Zhiwen on 78.4. 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.
