Why Zlatko Čordaš ranks #72 in Table Tennis

Zlatko Čordaš ranks 72nd among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3539th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 1968–1980 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, 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 medals 2, european championship medals 2, yugoslav titles 4, world championship appearances 5.

Immediately ahead sits Josef Dvořáček on 82.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Andrzej Grubba on 82.2. 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.
