Why Xu Xin ranks #23 in Table Tennis
Xu Xin ranks 23rd among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 948th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 78, Longevity 80, Honours 76, 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 2003–2023 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 78. Longevity 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 titles 5, world cup titles 1, olympic golds 1, world team titles 5.
Immediately ahead sits Vladimir Samsonov on 74.5, a gap of -1.7 points. Directly behind is Chen Meng on 78.3. 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.
