Why Tazuko Abe ranks #43 in Table Tennis
Tazuko Abe ranks 43rd among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2130th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 68, Honours 80, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 296 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1955–1962 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, world championship medals 3, team world titles 1, national titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Jack Carrington on 77.7, a gap of 0.1 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.
