Why Zoltán Berczik ranks #109 in Table Tennis
Zoltán Berczik ranks 109th among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3697th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 80, Statistics 78. 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 1952–1966 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1958, 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 european titles 2, world championship medals 4, hungarian national titles 5, european medals 6.
Immediately ahead sits Doo Hoi Kem on 79.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Cheung Yuk on 79.8. 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.
