Why Yang Ying ranks #86 in Table Tennis
Yang Ying ranks 86th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3601st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 82, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 291 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1994–2005 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world championship titles 2, world cup team titles 1, ittf pro tour titles 6, career world ranking best 3.
Immediately ahead sits Mattias Falck on 81.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Miu Hirano on 81.4. 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.
