Why Yu Mengyu ranks #26 in Table Tennis
Yu Mengyu ranks 26th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3371st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 88. 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 2008–2021 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes commonwealth games gold medals 3, olympic appearances 3, world championship medals 1, asian championship medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Kristian Karlsson on 84.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Werner Schlager on 84.6. 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.
