Why Qiao Hong ranks #16 in Table Tennis
Qiao Hong ranks 16th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3323rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 90, Statistics 84. 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 1986–1997 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic gold medals 2, olympic medals 4, world championship titles 4, world cup medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Kalinikos Kreanga on 85.6, a gap of 0.4 points. Directly behind is Otilia Bădescu on 85.3. 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.
