Why Wang Manyu ranks #38 in Table Tennis
Wang Manyu ranks 38th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1030th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 71.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 82, Longevity 58, Honours 72, 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 2014–present with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, olympic golds 2, world cup titles 1, world tour titles 10.
Immediately ahead sits Peter Karlsson on 70.1, a gap of -1.7 points. Directly behind is Mima Ito on 67.3. 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.
