Why Tomokazu Harimoto ranks #41 in Table Tennis
Tomokazu Harimoto ranks 41st among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1038th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 62.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 74, Longevity 52, Honours 58, Statistics 68. 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 2016–present with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 74. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 74 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world tour titles 8, olympic medals 1, world championship medals 3, best world ranking 3.
Immediately ahead sits Truls Möregårdh on 64.9, a gap of 2.4 points. 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.
