Why Werner Schlager ranks #9 in Table Tennis
Werner Schlager ranks 9th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 773rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1990–2015 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1995, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship golds 1, european titles 2, world championship medals 4, career-high world ranking 3.
Immediately ahead sits Jun Mizutani on 84.9, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Ryu Seung-min on 84.7. 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.
