Why Qian Tianyi ranks #136 in Table Tennis
Qian Tianyi ranks 136th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3803rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 85, Longevity 74, Honours 76, Statistics 80. 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 2015–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, which sets the Peak component at 85. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 85 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world junior titles 2, ittf world tour titles 2, chinese super league seasons 8, career world ranking best 8.
Immediately ahead sits Aleksandar Karakasevic on 78.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dora Beregi on 77.8. 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.
