Why Zhang Jike ranks #27 in Table Tennis
Zhang Jike ranks 27th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 975th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 84, Longevity 70, Honours 79, 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 2002–2019 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 2, world championship singles titles 2, world cup titles 2, world team titles 4.
Immediately ahead sits Sun Yingsha on 79.1, a gap of 2.1 points. Directly behind is Mikael Appelgren on 74.2. 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.
