Why Wang Hao ranks #25 in Table Tennis
Wang Hao ranks 25th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 962nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 80, Longevity 76, Honours 78, Statistics 76. 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 1998–2014 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 80. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 80 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship singles titles 1, world cup titles 3, olympic medals 4, world team titles 6.
Immediately ahead sits Chen Meng on 78.3, a gap of 1.6 points. Directly behind is Sun Yingsha on 79.1. 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.
