Why Li Ju ranks #78 in Table Tennis
Li Ju ranks 78th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3573rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 72, Honours 86, Statistics 82. 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 1995–2004 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, 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 olympic gold medals 1, olympic medals 2, world championship titles 3, world cup medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Liang Jingkun on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Gábor Gergely on 81.9. 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.
