Why Sun Yingsha ranks #26 in Table Tennis
Sun Yingsha ranks 26th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 964th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 66, Honours 80, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 295 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2015–present with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 3, world championship singles titles 2, world cup titles 3, world team titles 3.
Immediately ahead sits Wang Hao on 76.7, a gap of -2.4 points. Directly behind is Zhang Jike on 77.0. 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.
