Why Otilia Bădescu ranks #17 in Table Tennis
Otilia Bădescu ranks 17th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3325th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 82, 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 1986–2008 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1996, 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 european championship titles 1, european medals 4, olympic appearances 5, romanian titles 10.
Immediately ahead sits Qiao Hong on 85.2, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Li Jie on 85.2. 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.
