Why Tiago Apolónia ranks #25 in Table Tennis
Tiago Apolónia ranks 25th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 2052nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 90, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 2002–present with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2005, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity 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 team titles 1, european championship medals 3, olympic games 4, career highest world ranking 16.
Immediately ahead sits Zhu Yuling on 80.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Chen Zhibin on 80.5. 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.
